Personally i definately would mate. I just sent my Monroe GT Gas shocks back today in favour of the KYB's. The KYB's are going to cost me about an extra $130 (for all 4) compared to the Monroes, but apparently they are alot stiffer and alot more suited to the ultralows. I'll let you know how my car rides once i get it lowered (if yours isn't done by then).

Grechie how does the car cope with speed bumps and driveways, my car is only on lows and i scrape my front bar on my driveway at home, was going to go lower but after a few recent other driveways and scraping, mine is about as low as practical.

Thanks heaps for the compliments, early E series isnt my favourite either, but it does look pretty good in that shot. Im happy with the 15s, I only would only change them for the sake of modifying, and new rims are near the bottom of my list anyway.

The proper way is to have the leaf springs reset.

Was along the same theme...

And since I'm only holding an IOU I must be less than trailer trash

You wish the T could do that Chris, I think you lack some serious rwkw....

Maybe towing the ED with the T you could do it, with the ED running, but by the time you get to speed the ED's tank would be empty being a fuel $lut...

36psi! ! Ok why not, I'll take donations for a new bottom end!

Maybe just go with Dan's idea, take the landspeed record for flat towing an ED Falcon station wagon that was converted to a V8 and has half an EF Ghia interior in it!

Yeah!
