Yeah, I have got that issue of SM as well... good read. I'm not totally sure where my suspension stands at the moment... All I know is just about every Falcon (EA-ED) I see driving around all have the front suspension lowered (standard or custom???). I was thinking maybe Ford did this to increase the negative camber and improve handling since there was problems with the suspension from the EA's first releases.
Either way, I've got a set of spring compressors ordered off of Ebay, so hopefully next week I can get around to lowering the front end... if that gives me some negative camber @ good angles why bother shimming it. I've never heard of these K-mac adjustors, who supply em? what are they and how much would it cost? Thanks once again guys, you've been great help!

Just a follow up on this topic guys...
All that noise coming from the front was actually my engine mounts... missing all the bolts from the passenger side and the pivot bolt was extremely loose. I did lower the front end, with King Lows, and with just those springs I can feel that it is a lot firmer. Only problem I had was getting the upper ball joints out (took 1 1/2 hours with the tyre iron and a hammer). Thanks again!
