    I've just got the stock springs on my VX and the tag with the part number was still there. One way of checking possibly.

    lowered is firmer and reduced ride height depending on suspension setup eg fe2 or aftermarket

    The difference from my king springs now to what it was stock is barely noticeable to me =( I was wondering if they had been replaced at all, but I can see "King Springs" written on the yellow springs on the rear end.

    They sound like standard. I have my original ones and they're black. The king springs lowered my car by 40mm.
