    Default Which Springs To Use Folks?

    I have at the moment a VS V6 series II ute. It has been lowered but a little too much. I want to lift it back up a little bit so I can at least take it on a dirt road as I live in the country. How much from Standard height will FE2 springs lower the ute or can you just buy springs that are an inch below standard ride height. There is also a country pak suspension kit but not too sure on that one. Will the struts have to be changed as well. I would like to keep it lowered a little as it is a nice looking rig... cheers to all

    low springs are usually about 35mm lower then standard, about the same as fe2 i think. normally they fit straight onto the front struts without needing to shorten things and you need shorter shocks in the rear so the spring stays captured etc
