brendosxr6t Member 11 Member For: 12y 4m 5d Posted 02/12/12 11:59 AM Share Posted 02/12/12 11:59 AM hey, I have a xr6T fg 2011 with lux pack so I have the 19's is it wise to get it lowered?......it would look betta but some people rekon that it is an pain in the ars!!!! and that it will actually not improve the handling but more the opposite!!anyone else done this to their sedan......if there are issues, like some say u can just replace the springs others say it will stuff your shocks....so they need to be replaced....but I dont want to do it if the standard suspension handles better.....it will look better but just tossing up the idea and thought I would see if anyone else has done this ( I would imagine many have ) and what they think of it and if the recommend it!

Yes go much below this then you can effect geomentry of the cars suspension and potentially adversly impact handling. Then there is clearance issues, the FG has huge front overhang, so the front spoiler will be hitting things more often. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you haven't got a lot to spend go monroe gt sports but if you got the cash go bilsteins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
