nubexr6t New Member 17 Member For: 8y 3m 11d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 26/12/16 02:29 AM Share Posted 26/12/16 02:29 AM Hey Im looking at some almost brand new FGX struts and leafs to put on my 09 FG T. Just wondering if people know if they fit?. Im more than happy to go back to standard height front and rear as mine is really low and front struts are worn out. And as I use it for work I need the back especially at standard height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With tools approx 150 to 200kg the backs level with the front. Is this standard height as it seems low. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would go for an aftermarket brand at standard height. standard height is the best in my opinion...being able to do an oil change in the driveway without having to jack the car up is awesome.

The front shocks are shagged so will need replacing and on gumtree I came across a full FGX xr6 standard suspension for $400. Was thinking for the money could do almost new standard setup. Which is about the price of new aftermarket struts and springs for the front alone. Only sticking point is getting them shipped Melb to Syd.

The previous owner had deleted the intake muffler and relocated the battery. Has pod filter straight off the turbo and blocked off the blow off valve. So makes heaps of noise. Also unsure if this is stock but off the turbo has a 3 inch pipe back to one muffler and the rest is just straight pipe. And certainly will turn the tyres to smoke instantly,you know just to test the LSD haha. But needs a centre bearing so got a quote from Hardy spicer for a uprated one that's 330 if I bring the driveshaft to them to change over the bearing,280 if I just buy it. Hoping to get the bigger injectors,xcal4 and tune for around 1500 in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've bought second hand before and they were shagged. They looked good but once fitted they showed they're true colours. Sounds like yours already has a few mods. It's most certainly had a tune in the past. Otherwise it wouldn't run real well with those mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might just put the stock intake back and battery in the right place as its all a little dodgy and see how she goes. Other interior mods were a F6 interior (seats ,door cards, console) with mk2 ICC. The ICC works ok for the bluetooth etc but have to set the dimming bright to see it through the day. If I have any probs with any of the mods luckily I have all the original parts. Here is the second hand stuff I was looking at. http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/kinglake-west/brakes-suspension/ford-falcon/1128404270 Or find something aftermarket and just do the front springs and struts and do the rear shocks only and leave my leafs.

Was probably sucking hot air from the engine bay before anyways. Will run it like this for awhile and see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
