Still 20mm approx over legal height here in Aus.Hope that helps mate (EDIT; also no comments on how my rear tyres look too skinny... Man some fat rears would be sweeeeeet....)

Any camber issues with the front for the alignment?

Sits much flatter around the bends and isn't so boaty/rolly. It's lost that 'float' that falcons have and it's tightened everything right up. I had an FG F6 before this and just the new shocks and lowering make it out handle the stock F6 hands down.Comfort wise, it is very similar to stock, but is 'firmer' all around. At this height I don't have to crab diagonally over every speed hump at 5km/h either, although I do have to be aware of larger bumps and drops though but it's not an issue 95% of the time.I bought the car set-up like this so I'm not aware of any issues - Tyres don't seem to be wearing too much worse than stock to be honest and no scrubbing or other drama's.I'd consider looking at shocks either at the same time, or soon after as I understand the stock shocks don't like the extra compression...Cheers mate and good luck!Dan Edited 04/11/14 10:52 AM by NVT Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/89506-lowering-g6e-t/page/2/#findComment-1510320 Share on other sites More sharing options...
