FGeorge Member 79 Member For: 3y 8m 11d Posted 03/06/21 11:51 PM Share Posted 03/06/21 11:51 PM My vision for my FG is to have 300+ KW on a set up that handles well on wide open corners. I know it won't be a WRX on train tracks but I imagine that we can get it handling well, especially on those big country roads that have nice long corners, rather than quick hairpins that are not good for heavy cars. So, has anyone been able to build a good set up to get the most handling out of these cars? Any favourite roads you guys have to take a nice spirited drive? Any good high speed race tracks suited to the falcon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shockworks coil overs and upgraded brakes (no need to go as far as I did with the brakes) definitely worth every dollar spent regarding the handling and stopping. We're doing (hopefully) the snowies later this year - fantastic roads We try to do Tassie semi regularly too - my favorite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FGeorge Member 79 Member For: 3y 8m 11d Posted 04/06/21 06:08 AM Author Share Posted 04/06/21 06:08 AM awesome, I'll get into those too - I love driving a car that holds it's line well, even if it is heavy. Any car pushed correctly can be a hell of a lot of fun - don't need to keep up with a miata aroudn a corner to enjoy the falcon... are coilovers something ok to diy with youtube or is it best to take it to a shop? I figure camber is best left to the experts. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FGeorge Member 79 Member For: 3y 8m 11d Posted 04/06/21 06:31 AM Author Share Posted 04/06/21 06:31 AM Sweet. I'm keen to do at least SOME work on the car myself so that's great. I'll add that to my list along with installing a Battery Relocation kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
