If you have/had 17" alloys from factory you will also have the tickford XR6/8 suspension.

They both came in a package.

That would certainly be the package to have! Luxury plus tight handling.

Exactly right, they had 17" rims which came with the compulsory Tickford suspension kit out of the factory.

Cheers.
