Looking to drop the ride height a good 20-25mm.

Hey FGX,
The full adjustable kit is still $2000 for the remainder of our Ford stock. This will have to increase in the coming months due to the Aussie dollar falling so much.
While the R Spec was a good improvement over the standard GT suspension, we still have a few limitations in regards to spring rates and damper valving design with the production dampers.
The Shockworks kit includes the spring rates and revised damping forces that was not available to us at the time. The dampers are 12 stage adjustable for damping forces and the rear dampers are inverted which allows you to adjust the dampers at the lower mount and saves some weight on the unsprung mass.
We were able to achieve a much higher level of stability with better balance and response.
Cheers
Brett

Thanks mate.. Do use have a lesser grade kit as I'm only really wanting to lower my XR8 while retaining a good ride. I don't really need all the adjustment as it will probly never hit the track.
Cheers
