josh883 Member 44 Member For: 10y 11m 13d Posted 05/10/15 10:20 AM Share Posted 05/10/15 10:20 AM Looking at getting some bilstein shocks and King springs fitted. Can anyone tell me if sting height for sl front and ssl rear is the same height as a stock xr6? And what's the ride quality like after doing this?

Just went though this today with my local suspension shop and is the combo I'm leaning towards on my g6et. King spring sl-ssl-sssl mean for every 's' you drop down 10mm. I'm locking at keeping my std shocks as the car has only done 35000km and any lower will result in new shocks and possibility shiming the front.

josh883 Member 44 Member For: 10y 11m 13d Posted 06/10/15 10:59 AM Author Share Posted 06/10/15 10:59 AM Yeah thanks I thought this may be the case. Mine has done 92000 hence the shock change. I don't think stock shocks are that good either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks pretty level and comfy with peddlers sports riders as bilsteins were out of stock. I changed the top swing arm bushes at the same time.

josh883 Member 44 Member For: 10y 11m 13d Posted 17/10/15 09:34 PM Author Share Posted 17/10/15 09:34 PM Not much prob 10mm front and back. Nice and level. The king springs shouldn't sag much. I'll take a pic later today. Car handles great now. I wanted to lower a little bit and take the body roll out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
