    mate fe2 will drop it a little bit but the difference is there stiffer than the stock. I dont think they are yellow my fe2s arent, unless there really dirty lol.

    they sound like kingsprings, my fe2 springs are black in my vyss, unless there is different fe2 springs, but i'm pritty sure all the fe2 suspension is black like the standard exec springs, correct me if i'm wrong though, but if kings they may sit the same or slightly lower than the fe2. which would be good either way.

    on the subject of lowering would super lows all round be fine, or does everyone go with the ssl in the rear?

    yeh super lows would be fine, i'm going kings superlows in mine, will sit bout 3 inches lower than standard from what iv been told, so bout an inch or so lower than fe2, can go ssl, but iv been told to keep in mind that being irs the wheels will sit on an angle and wear out the inner edges on the rear, where as sl will still sit low but should be ok as in won't need camber kit for added adjustment, or something like that anyway.

    all good, yeh can get king spring sl for bout $110-$120 a pair depending who you talk to, so say $220-240 for the set front and rear, then shocks to go with what ever type you decide to choose, good luck.
