TCR Donating Members 138 Member For: 16y 9m Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 04/02/09 12:48 AM Share Posted 04/02/09 12:48 AM (edited) Hey Guys,After a few weeks of research and reading I've finally ordered all the parts to lower my 2005 BF XR6 Turbo. I decided to do the properly the first time around, so I'm replacing the shocks and bump stops as well as the springs. These parts should give me a finished ride height of approx 335mm in the front and 350mm in the rear, as opposed to the 360mm in the front and 375mm in the rear of my standard car.I sourced all the parts through Fulcrum Suspensions for just under $1300 because I have a good relationship with the Capalaba branch manager. PM me if you want his details and are interested in similar items. These are the parts and part numbers:Bilstein Shock AbsorbersFront: B46-1255BARear: BE5-62670King SpingsFront: KFFL-57SLRear: KFRL-68SSLSuperpro Bump StopsRear: SPF2787KI'll add before and after photos when I get a chance.Paul.

But if you wanted to do it right first time, why didnt you get coil overs. Fulcrum do TEIN's which are great.
