    Oh god my dad had them on his XF falcon about 10 years ago... he actually ended up changing the tires prematurely since they were that bad... Lol I almost crashed a mustard one twice with that stupendous amount of body roll! Hmnn maybe it was just the car, I'm guessing 32 years on the same springs and shocks doesn't help either

    Yeah go for the 15's, a 2 inch jump is quite massive, considering the car sat on tiny 13's to begin with...

    I think the suspension has been replaced by the previous owner, and as I said it really doesn't have that much body roll, I guess the put some firmer gear in it.

    Good to see that the car car a decent suspension set up.

    Yeah probably, the one I drove was an absolute relic, no body rust though hahaha you would never have believed it.

    yer, my car and infact most of the b1 'sedans' had soft springs to give a nicer ride, almost like driving on water.....

    the wagon springs are a heavier spring and give a really firm ride and reduces body role heaps, thought it would be valuable info for everyone,

    so this is maybe wat you have in your sedan, the suspension set up in the b1's are fairly good out the factory, except for the higher models, like my audi for example, beautiful ride, but handles like crap!

    again not sure if sum sedans did come out with the wagon springs
