    ve sv6 ultra low. Do you need shocks??

    I'm also about to lower my VE ! I was going for sl or ssl "see how much room i have when the 22's get fitted" all around but I have a Calais v with fe2 suspension. Do you guys still think it is req to get shortened struts and shocks even with the fe2 suspension? Cheers Doug.
