XE through to AU Falcon, do you need front and rear?. Are your shocks suitable?

yea i need front and rear , i just wont something as stiff as possible really , so the heaviest falcon would be the way 2 go , im just curious besides the height which has 2 be cut down , is the diameters the same?

wat u mean by my shocks being suitable? y wouldnt they be?

Know that the falcons will fit rear, might have to look around for AJPS ones for the front. Your AE86 shocks may be too long allowing the spring to become uncaptive on full droop, and the valving will be incorrect for those springs. What are you setting the car up for?

im setting it up 4 the odd drift day every month or 2 , and my mate has alot of land on his propery , which i take the car out there quiet a bit 2 for some grip driving and drifting .
i just want a nice firm ride , and a car that doesnt rub on my tyres every time i take a hard corner or have passengers in the back

What gear are running currently?, Is the car daily driven?, for drift most run 8kg front with 6kg rear, quite stiff for daily in my opinion. I'd have a read of these and then decide what to run

i run falcon kingsprings in the front of my ke
theyre really stiff probley to stiff but way way to stiff to have falcons in the rear

id get normal falcon front springs and falcon kingsprings rear

the front spring is a bit smaller but it really doesnt matter they'll bind up every so offten to just jack it up and screw it out
