Shockworks getting installed there next week in my FGX-Xr8; trust all will be okay.

Can the standard ride height be maintained?

I have a FG MKII FPV F6 and don't want to lower it but just to handle a bit better.

I also have a whiteline front and rear sway bar kit with adjustable link pins to put in

Hi Anthony,
No problem maintaining the standard heights in the car but we do find the whole setup better using the standard bars as we have done all the balance work with the spring rates we have chosen. We find that increasing the bars with our kit can reduce grip and make the car copy the road laterally too much:-)
Cheers

Hey Ford17 - I am really interested to hear about your thoughts on the FGX-XR8 after you have fitted the shockworks setup. Am contemplating what to do myself with my XR8 as the standard setup is just far too harsh to live with day to day (am looking for a more compliant ride as a daily).

Shockworks sounds like on the full soft they should provide a better ride (more along the lines of a Grand Tourer) but can be wound up on a needs basis for a more engaging drive as and when required.

There are a lot of great reports I've read for BA's/FG's etc, and would expect the same for the FGX-XR8 but would be nice to hear from someone that has fitted them first hand.
