VT FE2 suspension into an 02 vx v8

[mrbeef]

I am looking to replace my suspension on my vx calais, as the front shocks are well.. shocked so I think I'd do the whole FE2 thing.

I have a found a set from a VT that are FE2, comes with front struts w/coils and rear coils.


Will these fit into my VX?


my bad if this has been covered - too lazy to sift thru search

Cheers guys

It will be a pretty much straight swap, the VT and VX suspension assembly are much the same!
There is a good DYI thread right here... VX VU:- How to change shocks and springs

Oh yup cheers thanks

Same shite. Only difference may be the sway bar links as they changed to a different style on VX. Only cost $80 anyways so it's an easy fix

my question is why go older? If you are going to go to all that trouble, I would spend more to get something out of a later model.

you would want from a later model for two reasons
a. newer/less wear
2. later revisions have revisions.

( I love that 1 and b joke )

The only difference with the front link pins is the bottom of the link that goes on the sway bar is a ball not rubbers/washers. The top is still the same vt-vx-vy

Ok, i may have a found a VY SV6 with fe2 that is being dismantled. Will this fit? Isn't there some v8 springs and then v6 springs? or is fe2 the same across the board

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

The front springs are a different rate between the V6 and V8.

Ok I got some shocks and springs from apparently a VX SS for 200 bucks posted. I just had a look on the springs the barcode there has number 92048200 on it. Quick search this is for a UTE, will there be an issue here?
