Do the SR's have a lower ride height than Forte's?
Also what other factory 16" alloys are there, besides the SR ones and AUI XR6. (with AU offset) Cheers |

I belive the SR's do sit lower - I thought they got a suspension pack. There are other 16" Alloys, AU3 fairmont:

Sports Suspension was standard on some SRs, and optional on others. The SR was the runout model as each new model arrived, so it got whatever Ford needed it to have to get sales.

Thanks guys. I'm thinking maybe the AUII SR's had the Tickford suspension and AUIII SR's didn't?
Reason I ask is I'm looking to put some 16" alloys on my AUIII Forte, but dont want that awkward look some AU's have when they are not lowered and have nice alloys fitted. Anyone know of any other 16" factory alloys that fit AU? what about BA ones? Don't really want to go to 17", as AU's really need to be lowered IMO with 17's, and my AU is just a family chariot... dont want to lower it Cheers |
