The XR8 is finally lowered.
about 3-4 weeks ago i noticed PYROAY was selling a set of 4 Pedders Sportsryder springs at a great price, so a couple of PM's later and they were on there way to Melbourne. Initally EFFalcon, dcstraight and myself started the job 3 weeks ago, but we ran into a few difficulties with the fronts, so we ended just doing the rear springs for the time being. In the meantime I managed to get some front Sportsryder struts off SnyperEB. John and myself finished the job off today. Pics:    and just for comparison heres how out it sat when i picked it up back in January.  I've already scraped on a few things here and there today so I have to remember what it's like to be driving a low car again :P

Like I've said before, this is the best looking car to leave an Aussie factory bar none! The ride-height just makes it so much more appealing too.
It looks unreal in white.

Looks good mate. Lowering should always be the first mod done to a E-series.
