Lowering an FB sedan

MickFB · Post by **MickFB** » Tue Feb 17, 2009 10:42 am

Hi all,

My name is Mick and I am new to this forum. I have just purchased back an FB, the same car I sold about 10 years ago, got it back for a song, and would like to know the best way to lower the car.

The car is original condition and all I want to do to it is lower it and put nice wheels on it.

Regards
MickFB

Yep, with a kingpin front end that's pretty much about it

.

There are other options if you have a HR front end like fitment of dropped stub axles from Stubtech or Castlemaine Rod Shop.

Hi Mick,

Welcome to the Forum. Sounds like a cool story...getting the FB back after 10 years.

Got any pics? Whereabouts are you located? NSW/Vic/Qld...

regards
Stewart

I live in Canberra. Haven't got any recent photos yet but I do have some of it when I had it 10 years ago. Will have to scan them into the computer and then work out how to put them on here.

The car has been garaged for the past 10 years but because there wasn't much venilation the paint work is like chalk and dehydrated. I am going to respray it and change the colour.
