Here are some more pictures. Hoping it would help dummies like me who never installed suspension before. Still evaluating the overall handling of the car, but from what I have experienced so far the car handles like night and day compared to the factory set up at 2 clicks above from soft which has a maximum of 10 clicks.
Old shock and new shock |

Yep, its covered a bit by the rubber sleeve. You can't really see it underneath the car, its just a matter of feeling it when adjusting it. Going harder makes it harder to turn and going softer is easier, so I just dial it all the way back down to soft then go up from there.

Good to see some $ on handling!
Have you tested them out on the circuit yet? http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=11396563

Nah mate. Just got the heights dialed in today.
This was the first upgrade I felt absolutely necessary on this car when I bought it. Just felt too disconnected from the road. Still haven't taken it to the track since I bought it, but plan to as I now have the tires (Bridgestone RE11) and suspension in check for some proper track work. |

Spring rates are 9kg front and 7kg rear. Could probably go higher for a more track orientated set up. Brett can do custom spring rates.

I think you will be surprised with the performance at the track with the current rates. The overall balance we found to be great for a combination of high speed corners, but also very good for the slower parts of the track like Winton or Sandown. I hope you having fun mate!! Cheers Brett |
