I'm not big on slammed FG's but I'm an old fart also. When you say better do you mean ride quality?Yeah, heaps better. I can have them up a little harder so now the car feels a bit sharper but at the same time it absorbs the big bumps without trying to jump into another lane and it's a bit quieter too- no bangs or thuds over bumps.I couldn't believe that raising the car 2cm or so would make such a difference. Still look low to me. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/77761-review-on-coilovers/page/3/#findComment-1167445 Share on other sites More sharing options...
