1 spring height down would be how many mm? Is it likely that it'll be relatively easy to scrape?

Cheers, Anthony

In car parks just take it slow over speed hump and it will be fine. I scraped maybe 15 times in 4 years in mine.

More like 10 to 15mm.

Stock falcon (non XR) height to XR height is 25 mm
XR (lows) to SL = 10 to 15mm
SL to SSL = 10 to 15mm

Thanks for the info! Is their any difference in height between an AU XR and BA XR?

Cheers, Anthony
