I was totally blown away by the differences it made to the car and am slowly working my way up to some sort of familiarity with it in "stock" setup to where I should be able to notice what any adjustments do - and look to fine tune from there.

Is that height still practical? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88503-coilovers/page/14/#findComment-1485696 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only scrape 1 place (driveway) a little worse than it did before. Probably about the same as it did on 35 profile tyres - am on 40 profile now.No worries with speed humps etc - business as usual on the road Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88503-coilovers/page/14/#findComment-1485699 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slight scrapes will be slightly rougher etcMy scrapes are only at the front when heading down a steep driveway - never had anything undercarriage Will be going back to 35 profile tyres when these are shagged, but don't expect any issues Edited 16/07/14 03:06 AM by Rab Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88503-coilovers/page/14/#findComment-1485703 Share on other sites More sharing options...
