Send MRE-50L a PM. He is parting out his DC LTD http://www.fordmods.com/forums/viewtopi ... 59&start=0 and may sell you his front springs??? There is a pic of Dave's DC earlier in this thread showing his front ride height.

Now where in the subject does it say "show me your NA's" :P Nah! Just s**t ya mate :lol: All ford tanks are welcome. I had a set of the old dragways on an XD. Nice wheel IMO. What size are they? As FordFreak said, looks like a tight fit.

That's because they are a pre AU model and Ford didn't make anything bigger than a 16" factory mag back then as far as I know. The NC/DC factory mags are 15". Besides always have been and always will be a fan of the chrome look :D

also whats the go with the side pin striping.. white cars never had them, my green one does, daves cardinal red one does, but others dont. was it an option? or for series 2 maybe? did series 3 change in any way apart from colour coding?

the white cars have pin striping it is blue or silver. not easy to see in photo's. it is also easier to remove from them as there are no probs with paint fade etc. "series 3" had smart lock. series 2 had abs.
