you'd be popular with staff discounts lol i got a mate that works at supercheap down here and his constantly getting me stuff through his discount! is a handy thing lol

hmm well i hope that they are actually for the FG lol will figure that out soon i guess :/

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Falcon-FG-Ut ... 416eec7d7c
it was that seller, and obviously for a sedan instead of a ute... but yeah same sorta package.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Falcon-FG-KI ... 416efefab6
They also do this package, but to be honest its cheaper for you to get the Monroe shocks/struts through this guy and then get king springs on your staff discount... its a difference of like $40-50 from memory.

I was told not to use king springs cause they sag but don't know how true it is I had a guy in town that bought ssl all round for his ba xt and he cut them again every time he gave it stick the a*** end use to hit the ground

personally if i had the extra coin i would have went lovell springs, but for a different reason. Lovell's have a progressive wind, and therefore they are meant to give a more comfortable ride... not sure how true it is, but if i had the extra coin i would have given it a crack.

but from what i have heard from mates/family, king springs are fine 99% of the time and TBH when people have problems with springs its generally because they have abused them or quite simply they have been well used... quality with a brand like King Springs shouldnt be an issue.

oh yeah right, never understood cutting of springs... everyone suggests it, then backs it up with stories of how s**t it is :/ seems logical lol

attention from the fuzz is never really welcomed... good choice...

not a bad looking car, though sits fairly high in the front. especially compared to the rear.
