I got to say that even though my EF XR6 still has the standard Ford suspension setup it still rides awesome 10 years on.
I gave the shocks a clean so I could read what was on them and was surprised to see that they had Ford part number on them and the date was the original fit date. I had a Monroe GT gas shocks and king superlows fitted to my EF GLi and the stock EF XR6 setup was still harder and had better performance. The XR6 doesnt have a camber kit fitted like I did on my GLi but still is much better. No sign of leaks or anything on the setup either. I would like to lower the car and fit a camber kit and bigger swaybar but I dont want to mess up the awesome setup on there now. Anyone else got a factory setup that is top notch? |

My Ghia still handles good, the ride height being in between XR and GLI specs, i think the shockies are still original, have a Ford number on them, handles good anyway.

this ones not exactly standard but it uses ford parts.
i fitted my old EF XR6 springs to my olds EB gli. there was a %200 increase and ride and handleing. i couldn't believe how well it made the heap drive. body roll has been halved and it doesn't wollow all over the place any more. as a bonus it has a ride hight thats isn't low enough to make it obvious the car has been lowerd, but it makes you look twice just to be sure. i'd recommend it any one |

mels stock xr has low kms and shocks/springs are still very good. she has pirelli's all around (235/and 245s) and it handles great. but i can absolutely rape it on a corner with my pedders/kyb heavy duty sport shocks and 30mm antisways like no tomorrow, also can do much high speed sideways action. but mine has a much firmer ride which i dont mind. (18s made it worse tho eek lol)

What parts are we looking at just for the XR6 setup. I want to change my GLI spec Fairmont suspension to exactly that of a Fairmont Ghia. That shouldn't be too expensive should it?
