depends how low your car is, you can usually get away with it...in saying that you might want to get an adjustable pan hard rod.

Speed determines how fast you hit the Traffic Light....Power determines how far you take it with you.

ABS = spongy brakes, but you'll slow to about 60

non-ABS = lock up at 100 & skid past the roo doing about 95. But you'll look sick doing it :mrgreen:

You will need to get the guards rolled.

You won't need an adjustable panhard rod - falcons have a watts link which is not ride height dependent.

Look at your car. Now back to mine. Now back to yours. Now back to mine. Sadly, yours isn't mine. But if you stopped buying dodgy cars and bought an ED, yours could be like mine. Look down. Back up. Where are you? ...You're on BoostedFalcon, reading the signature your signature could be like! Anything is possible when your car looks like my car... I'm on a computer.

I had to roll the guards on the EL with 18's - just depends on your ride height and camber I spose.
