SS springs??????onto std model

[danteo55]

hi guys..got offered some ss springs..my car is a std vt s2..17inch tyres..
i'm guessing these would lower my ride a little..just looking for that sport look...
would they be ok to just swap over or are there catches..want to do my baby up a bit..could start here..springs offered to me cheap...any help would be great..thanks.

Are they stock springs out of an ss? Im guessing there Fe2 springs, I think they lower your car like 20-30mm(I think)

Depends how low you want to go?

Though fe2 springs are good for handling and track use.

[danteo55]

don't won't to go to low..but lower than std for sure..and yep stock ss springs..
will they be ok or would i have to get new shocks and a camber kit???how big a job to do yourself??

[danteo55]

anybody..pleeeeease

[danteo55]

ok then ..while i'm waiting ..i'm goin to go paint my engine cover and brakes...

[mischa]

since no one else with more noledgy is saying anything ill tell u wat i know. pretty sure there dif between V6 and V8, the V8 springs take more weight, also pretty sure they will physicaly fit tho just the front will be higher cause there V8 springs.

I was thinking along those lines too, which was was I was a little hesitant in getting some fe2 springs off a friend who has a vy ss. (I have a vt v6) Maybe the rear springs are the same though?

[danteo55]

true that..never thought about that..sounds good..cheers fellas

[danteo55]

brakes primed..away to paint now

[mischa]

rear's are the same as far as i know, because when getting part numbers the rear for V8 and V6 where the same.

[danteo55]

might see if he'll split them..would save some cash..
painted the brakes today after reading the tips on this site..came up trumps.
going to have a go at the engine cover..could be tricky..

SS springs = fe2
S springs = fe2

they have the same suspension set up. The V8 only adds weight to the whole thing.

if you want to see what your comm looks like with the springs just look for a factory height S or SS or i'm sure someone on here has an exec with fe2 springs

[danteo55]

really???is this a home job or shop job??

they will fit no worries, my car has got fe2 if you wanna see how they sit check out my thread in the vt/vx my ride section.

If the springs are identical, then why are there differnt part numbers for V8 and V6 front springs? If you where to use V8 springs the front would sit higher in a V6 then it would a V8.

Depends if your up to it or not, easy job for some people, not so for other's. I think there's a how to on the site for it... I would do it at home.

[lumina01]

the v8 ones would be heavy duty but should sit the same

[mischa]

i wouldnt think there would be much differnce, but just pointing out there not the same.

danteo55 I would go for it, sounds like ur getting a good deal anyway.

[danteo55]

got the brakes all done...

This isnt a, my ride thread mate lol.

[danteo55]

true...but i'm new here so i'm trying to find my way around..its a big place..lol

Front springs are stiffer for the V8 over the V6 equivellant. Rears are the same. Fe-2 is slightly lower than the standard ride height.
