As above,im finally getting the falcon lowered and new struts and shocks are getting put in BUT..
I still need to deceide on:what struts and shocks(ultima or KYB) The guy is tellin me to go with the ultimas because they are firmer and have sport valving.I dont know how true this is.Are the KYBs(Excel-G)firm enough? Also im thinking of getting lows in the front and superlows in the rear because the rear sits about an inch higher. Anyone with this done please reply as wednesday is not far off. CHEERS in advance. |

I have superlows all round and it sits level (330mm from centre of wheel to guard) I used Monroe GT Gas and dont mind the ride, its firm but not rock hard. I guess if its too soft it may bottom out to easy. For all the springs, shocks/struts and camber it it set me back $604 heres a pic to give you an idea, it only has stock 15's at the moment tho.

Shocks dont determine the ride height just the the ride itself, unless the lower seat on the front struts are lower which will make a difference but then the specs of the front springs mean nothing.

Make sure you use shortened rear shocks for lowered rear springs. Consensus seems to be that the rear should be slightly higher than the front for optimum handling.
