Ride still is stiff and when going over bumpy roads it doesn't bounce , it's more of a stiff bounce . If they did stuff up , can they be rebuilt ?? I would like to see how much travel I have . I don't think I have ever bottomed them out . They are a very stiff shock . Yeh they can be rebuilt and revalved if you want harder or softer... Does your front and rear feel the same in regards to firmness??? or rear/front is softer...

The other day I had to merge off the side of the road to get into the turning lane cos traffic was banked up. And then hit a pot hole
 But luckily my rimskins saved the lip from getting f**k up. But it ripped it off . There was no way I'm paying another $100 for a set . Until today I found these http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com.au/viewi ... 0267205997 Rimskin copies for $20 , bargain . It doesn't say in the description exactly there purpose but I'm pretty sure it's to protect the rims lip

The rear pedders springs feel as thou they respond better to bumps and speed humps...

Im tempted to chage the front to pedders as well but not sure if it's worth the investment...

So you reckon your pedders springs are better than king?
What height you running ? Is Lovell better than the 2 ??

It was either koni red adjustables or bilstein .
I chose bilstein because there was a big write up on shocks and someone said that the koni reds leaked oil . Nothing bad was said about bilstein .

I'm running low spring and yes I think there better but find out spec's before you go ahead with purchase. ef_falcon_95 wrote: It was either koni red adjustables or bilstein .

Probably won't get new springs , mine are fine for now , I think smaller rims would give a better ride

Never had stockies on my xr6, I don't think I want to lol
They wouldn't last long and neither would my licence , I had a set of ftr's and a set of 17" rims which came with my car when I brought it. I'm kicking myself for selling both sets. Hard to find a decent set of ftr's . Everyone seems to be asking between $400-$600 . f**k me they are only worth $250-$300. I had a good set lined up for $250, only problem was they were in Alice springs was going to cost me $400 to get them back . f**k that I'll keep looking for some .
