Default Re: Ford Falcon BA-FG Coilovers

I live in Traralgon and have Grandparents in Montrose so not that far from your shop.

It would be great if you could do a build thread of a Falcon getting a fit up, I talked to my local suspension shop (Fulcrum/Tein dealer) about you guys but he had little to no information and there isn't a lot of detail to talk to him about from what's on the website.

Thanks FPVU8,
Must be the air in China but I forgot about Nispro and Herrod so I hope they are not reading haha. In the middle of a huge subjective evaluation report so the brain is a bit dead. About 40 different things to rate on the ride and handling
Next time we are installing a set of Ford dampers, I will give you a call through the forum and you are more than welcome to see how we install our damper kit.
we have sold many sets but only one to a forum member direct and installed for him so hope to get some more business from the guys in the threads.
Thanks and look forward to meeting you one day.
Cheers
Brett

If you were closer to my side of town - I'd take you for a spin in the GT so you can check the ride etc. So far - no issues and the ride is still very good. The stance is exactly what I always hoped for....low.......but not dragging its guts. The look of the car now is such a bonus. The ride is still compliant - so its not just a 1 week feels good and then its gone to hell scenario.

Again - depends on what you want in the car and how prepared you are to put up with a little bit of rough and tumble when the roads are bad - but this set up is very close to the factory feel in terms of damping.

PM me if you wanna talk more.

Mate, your car looks great riding on the new setup... What height did you (HTG) did you set it at?

Cheers.
