Falcons dont fit in the front of the 86, only in the front of the ke70/ae71 as the struts/spring seats are different

Ive got some 6kg AJPS fronts, free height of 190mm so pretty low, ill do them for 150 delivered.

New front shocks arent needed but make a HUGE difference to the handling/feel/safety of the car and i highly reccomend them when changing springs.

i just got front and rear KYB short stroke shocks from AJPS, and now with no cash needing springs lol, so im going for falcon springs in the rear, but im unsure on what springs i can use in the front. i heard certain model commo springs can be used. anyone able to shed some light???

cheap = $110 for lovell superlow springs new and $130 for gt4 gabriel ultra shocks + $10 worth of washers from bunnings...
not the best suspension setup but does the job for street use

imho just save up and do it right the 1st time

rear suspension:

in the front of my mates ke70 he used vn or vr rear commo springs out of a wagon

if you want to do it that way just measure the inside diameter of your springs then go the the wreckers and measure the inside diameter of springs off different car u want stiff so bigger heavyer cars would be smart.
