    Default Can i put vr fe2 in a vp or only vp fe2

    I need advice on if any fe2 suspension will fit on my vp or does it need to be for a vp only? What the best shocks to have with fe2 springs?

    kinda depends on with or without IRS (independant rear). Front Springs are same from memory.

    well if they are both non irs, should just bolt on, the only noticeable difference would be the shock tower one has a ball joint to connect it to the lower control arm, the other has two "only use once" bolts.

    I dont think VR front springs are the same? the struts are way different anyway so I don't think they would be. Rear springs will be the same for sure

    Cheers mate...its confusing when on the major auction sites they tell you that the fe2 that they are selling are for vn_vs because from what i know there is no such fe2 made.I think i will try and get a set straight out of a vp and know for sure.Rare Spares sell them new so they will do i guess.

    FE2 Springs from a VN-P should be at almost every wrecking yard in the country anyway. There were heaps of cars with FE2 from the factory, very very common
