    Default Progressive Rate springs for front suspension on VY

    Can anyone suggest some aftermarket Progressive Rate springs that would give a better ride for a VY than the factory springs at the standard height?

    Kings and Lovells. Maybe Pedders if you like shelling out money for red springs.

    FE1 springs should be soft enough already.

    What condition are your shockers in? If they are the ones that came with the car they are probably stuffed by now, replace them with some gas shocks and you'll get a much better ride.

    by 'better ride' what do you mean ?
    do you want a softer ride ?

    most aftermarket springs are progressive, however any lowered spring is generally going to give you a harsher ride as there is less suspension travel
    as suggested the FE2 spring is probably the best option if you want to go a little lower, but still maintain a factory sort of ride quality. Still will ride rougher than the standard height springs though
