S pack will have FE2 standard. These are the equivalent of "lows" - about a 30mm drop from standard.

FE2 is the sports suspension package, its lower, a bit tougher ride, but handles alot better. I wouldn't worry about further lowering unless you feel it really needs it.

Jump in a mates non-lowered exec and throw it around a bit (but not too much ;) ) and you'll feel the difference.

By the way... there's a JC cruise being organised for the 21st.. all welcome.. there's a thread up in the SA section :)

Ok... what you need to do is find the lowest point underneath the car and measure it there. This is how the cops check you for defect (too low) and the most common way of measuring ride height.
