Whats a Pedders lift kit? Im sorry I dont know as the suspension was there when I got it...
It handle better than My fairmont..I couldn't work out why untill I looked that the springs...

I always though the sports ryder range stuffs up the ride quality but this is good....I had the red springs on my previous car (lowered 2inches) and it rattled and I tasted breakfast everytime I got into the car..

So it think it was the fact that is was lowered that killed the ride.This one is good.Stiff but comfortable...so happy.

I will PM you the price... :

My whole life I have been riding in lowered cars... Im over it ..I want to enjoy going over a speed hump with out.....

Slowing down to 2km/h angling the car at full lock...

With this ride height I can almost go off road...

Beleive the suspension was changed as the Fairlanes have the auto levelling and that would have stuffed up so the owner just put a set of pedders

Welcome to the E-series 4WD owners club!

Nice car, the NF-NL Fairlanes were in my opinion some of the best looking cars to roll off the Ford Australia production lines.
