duncey1 Member 9 Member For: 12y 4m 12d Posted 28/11/12 07:56 AM Share Posted 28/11/12 07:56 AM (edited) Hi all Thinking about lowering my new xr50th Turbo ute just wanting some ideas and what type of springs also a rough estimate on price to do fron and rear.I dont want the tyres tucking but would like the height sitting just higher then the tyre on the front and rear (car level)Was thinking SSL front kingsAlso whats the best way to lower the rear, reset the leafs??? Will there be any problems doing a slight lowering???How much would I be looking at for the set up. not wanting coilover as I would prefer to spend the money on engine mods.Any help would be muchly apprecieted as im new to the 6T and want it looking immaculate.

You can go about 3-4" rear and 1 front and they sit great. Reset leafs are around $400 inc labour. King make SSL leafs, don't go low enough and are $500+postPedders leafs are adjustable, but not by much, and they've given me the chits. Fronts jut throw in King SSLs.

Haven't heard of anyone having ail shaft problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried lowering blocks but they were rubbish. It's be nice to be even lower but I carry stuff on occasion and a motorbike, tools, tents, esky, barbie and all that make it impractical to go any lower.The ute never scrapes on speed bumps either which is awesome. My VE sedan has SSLs all round and scrapes if I even LOOK at a speed bump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
