I have lowered the back 50mm and it still sits a bit higher than the front. Although it looks great if I had my time again I would go 45-50mm at the back but only SL at the front. SSL is just that bit too low for driveways, kerbs and speed humps because the utes have such a looong wheel base. If you do go SSL at the front, dont forget a camber kit other wise you will wear out the inside of your tyres very quickly because of too much negative camber.Hey mate, How much is it too lower arse end of your fg?

I was warned it would wig out the way it works?Cheers kjc87 said: just a quick update, had the SL king's put in the front today but it has only dropped about 12mm. so I am waiting until next week for them to sag a little and then im going to do the back so ill have pics up then. cheers.

Boosted1 Member 346 Member For: 16y 6m 1d Posted 23/07/09 11:52 PM Share Posted 23/07/09 11:52 PM just a thought. the cv is wearing out because of the change in angle between the tail shaft and the diff pinion angle. I know you can shim diff pinion angles in the e series falcons to stop diff chatter. I wonder if we could shim it to fix the change in angle???
