wilko117 Member 67 Member For: 19y 2m 3d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 01/07/09 08:31 AM Share Posted 01/07/09 08:31 AM I have mad my fg ute lowered, had the rears reset can't recall how low it is, but I am happy with it. As someone mentioned earlier in the post about the cv's I snapped one when I had a bit of weight in the back just taking off from the lights nothing stupid. One dealer said it was my fault as the car was lowered, long story short I rang the dealer I bought it off and they fixed it staight away. I have not had a problem since and that was about 9 months ago. Have heard it happening to a few people though!!!!

Darcy Member 19 Member For: 15y 11m 29d Gender: Male Location: Chinchilla Posted 05/07/09 10:46 PM Author Share Posted 05/07/09 10:46 PM Had my ute lowered on the weekend with king super lows in the front:FOR303SL which dropped it about 25mm and super super lows in the rear:KFF40SSL which dropped it about 35-40mm. Car handles sh*teloads better and doesnt scrape on anything so far. Very happy with how it sits as it is now level however I may in the future lower it a little more in the rear... anyways tell me what you thinkCheers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/58896-fg-lowering/page/2/#findComment-901830 Share on other sites More sharing options...
