I switched to FE2 in my VS wagon.
Front went down 5mm and rear went down 35mm.
I suspect the original front springs were sagged.

I just measured mine - BT1 5 ltr with FE2 - and it is 350 mm from the middle of the centre cap to the bottom of the wheel arch above the wheel...if that makes sense.

It'll be the same height as an S or SS you should be able to see one in your local street to compare

Commodore Omega
Can anybody confirm the height differences between the standard, FE2, Super low and Ultra low springs, I have a set of new FE2 springs off from an SV6, and looking lowering my VE omega with 18" wheels, and I really want to know is it worth to put the FE2 or I should go for a super or ultra low.
thanks

Fe2 or lows are approx 20-30mm lower and supers 40-50mm

I went Fe2 and was happy with it for a while and then a couple of months later I switched to super lows. at first I though yeah the Fe2 looked way better then stock but every time I seen a Commodore on supers go past i thought that looks heaps better.

I switched to Supers and shortened shocks and never looked back look better and doesn't get decked over every speed hump I come across.
