Found this while lloking around on ebay. It's a full tickford suspension kit brand new in boxes. Looks pretty good and it's only at $515 at the moment. would be good for someone wanting to lower their forte or futura to XR height :voldar02:

Tickford is supposed to be 25mm and lows are supposed to be 30mm, guess it could vary a little. Im really happy with my setup now anyway, handles so much better and looks better too. Only problem now will be tyre wear due to cornering faster all the time

My original XR height was still pretty high in my opinion. So Simon, to answer your question, Kings and Koni on the other hand WILL make your car sit lower.
And just because im excited, i gotta tell everyone that in a few hours i pick up my car with brand spankin' Koni Sport (yellows) shocks that are fully adjustable while installed on the car... woo! Oh, and my XR shocks are completely stuffed, so no sale! Unless you like clunking suspension? I'll sell the 75,000 km old shocks for $9,000... bargain! ;)
