Hey guys, thought i would introduce myself to the fordforums. My name is Nick and I'm from the western suburbs of Melbourne. I just bought my third car which is a 1999 AU Fairmont Ghia. Its dual fuel, black leather, and I could not be happier with it! My previous cars were a black TX5 Turbo (aka BADTX5), and a silver TX5 Turbo. The black TX5 ran 14.4's consistently, and the silver one ran 13.5's on street tyres, and reeled off a 12.8 with slicks and c-16 race fuel. They both served me well, however, the price of fuel drove me to get something more modern and on lpg. Hence the GHIA was my choice. In the near future it shall be lowered and get some 18 inch rims.
I have a few questions regarding lowering the AU. I am looking at dropping it 2-2.5 inches. Will i need new shocks for this ride height? I dont want to cut corners, and so a camber kit and strut brace will be installed aswell. Hopefully I will have it lowered and rims in the next few months. Can't wait to go on a cruise. Thats bout it for now, ciao! : |
