Russman Member 38 Member For: 14y 9m 28d Posted 03/05/10 08:04 AM Share Posted 03/05/10 08:04 AM Just wondering how people have lowered their utes and did they go somewhere professional like pedders etc. Experiences good/bad. Cost? Anyone got pics?I'm looking at the stuff on ebay and might try do the install myself. I'm happy with the springs because I've done that and have spring compressors but I've never changed leafs. How hard is it? Obviously wheel allignment is needed afterwards. Not sure if it's worth doing it myself.Ford Falcon FG ute 08-On Sedan Lowered King Springs Set - eBay Coil Springs, Suspension, Steering, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 26-May-10 19:40:32 AEST)The leaf kit (ute) above is $735 and the sedan is only $289. Big difference! Says it lowers by 30-35mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russman Member 38 Member For: 14y 9m 28d Posted 04/05/10 12:33 PM Author Share Posted 04/05/10 12:33 PM I'm in melbourne but will be in sydney 21-22nd May for superlap at Eastern Creek racing my skyline. Not sure how low to go yet. I do a bit of towing so don't want to go silly. I'll do a bit more research. Hopefully someone on here has some pics of their car lowered.

Russman Member 38 Member For: 14y 9m 28d Posted 06/09/10 10:34 AM Author Share Posted 06/09/10 10:34 AM Update on my ute.Went to pedders in Ringwood (Melb) and got the lowest I could go legally.Here are some pics. Cost 960 with fitting and alignment. Not exactly cheap (leafs are so expensive!) but I'm very happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
