    Default Vr FE2 change over

    Hey there. I'm planning on changing over the standard suspension in my vr for the fe2.

    Anyone know where I can get a kit? eBay really the only place? Anyone here selling a kit?

    What's needed too? Just front and rear springs and the struts? I'll be replacing the shocks with newies anyway. So a kit without doesn't really bother me.

    People are too obsessed with how much "power" their car makes....it doesn't make power, it produces torque, from which this mythical "power" figure is calculated.

    Talk to GSL rally sport. King lows are the same height. FE2 isn't that much different from stock you know.

    But what are they like? Are they a really good spring?


    If I do go down that path, I'd probably end up just going about 1.5" lower max. Would I still be able to use the standard strut, or does that need to be replaced as well? Or is that just the case with any spring replacement?

    You can use the standard front struts with FE2 springs, but the standard rear shocks are too long and the springs wont be fully captive without shortened shocks.

    I wasn't gonna particularly keep the standard shocks anyway. Haven't tested them, but I'm sure they've seen better days.

    VS COMMODORE LOWERED KING SPRINGS & MONROE GT SHOCKS | eBay

    Check this ebay listing out for an idea. They claim it is only 10mm lower then fe2 and 30mm lower then standard.
    Also you should have better handling if you also replace your standard shocks
