XR6 AUII Suspension Upgrades

Would like some recommendation on lowering my AUII XR6 Sedan. It's currently all stock and sits too high for my liking. I've contacted King Springs and they've told me there lowering springs heights are as follows.

Front: KFFL-57SL
Rear: KFRL-27SL

"Measuring from the centre of the wheel to the guard, the measurements your car will approx sit at is Front: 355mm and rear: 360mm. If you require it to be lower than this measurement, part number KFFL-57SSL & KFRL-27SSL would lower it approx another 10-15mm.

You should be OK with keeping your factory front struts but would suggest fitting lowered rear shocks due to being a live axle and minimal bump clearance."

I have since measured the car and it's and the front's already 355mm and there rear is 390mm (on a empty tank)

Even with the extra low springs i cant really see it sitting low enough in the rear.

BTW the car has only 50,000 k's on it so the shocks should be all good i'd reckon.

Interested to hear what others have done to get the XR6 sitting lower

Re: XR6 AUII Suspension Upgrades

Shocks will be fine.
King SLs will do the job If you SSL in the back it will become a cronic understeerer!
