wat shocks do vy series 2 have
i have a series 2 spack vy and wanting to no wat suspension they have as im thinking bout putting fe2 suspension on it.
It has FE2. Sways are heavy duty and the shocks have a revised damping rate as well as the rears having gas and oil damping combined. If you like the ride height and want to improve the handling chuck some heavy duty sway bars on. If you want it slammed then some Kings SSSL should do the trick. Might need a camber kit though

yeah spak has Fe2's dont ya like the height?
is the sports suspension they come out with from factory but is there are way u can tell
Swerves for gay koalas
Mind Me Bloody Beer Champion!
Tell what? Yes the S and SS both came with FE2 suspension from the factory. The only way you won't have FE2 is if someone has replaced it.
S-pack baby ;)
Nope...
VY's came with standard suspension...
FE2 was an option, check your plate at the right in under ur bonnet to see what its got;
Either "STD", or "FE2"

S and SS are standard with FE2, that's what makes them an S along with the body kit and radical spolier lol

As Tyson said, The compliance plate is your friend, read it !
If you think its been changed you might be able to get a part number off the rear shock and ask at holden.
Turbo L98 FTW
The ute S packs don't come with FE2
well i checked the vehicle specs for the 2004 series 2 spacks and they say for the suspension its sports
Turbo L98 FTW
the plate in the engine bay of my VY Series 2 S pack has a big STD indent on it...
I think the storms came with FE2?
he means SEDANS.
VY S sedans = fe2 standard.
its pos anyway. i ripped all the suspension out and have replaced every component. much better ride now, and it feels like the car shed 300kg around corners
yeah i checked my plate in the engine bay and it had FE2 stamped there for suspenison

its 1/2 fe1, 1/2 fe2, as its a comfort style system.
fe2 front sway, fe1 rear, fe1 shocks, fe2 springs etc etc
FE 1.5 = shitola! Full pedders whiteline sways = oh yeah!

if you drive on bumpy roads bigger sway bars are a pain in the arse - your car will be hopping around everywhere and you'll probably go slower. On smooth terrain ie. race tracks they're awesome.
If you drive on bumpy roads a commy is the wrong car for you. Cruisers, adverntras, Ssan Yyong are all good for this. Commies are limited in their ability, they are for the road. Good suspension (lowered not raised) will actually turn them into a tight handling car

all you've got to do is go a bit slower on the bumpy bits and the ol' commy doesn't mind em at all.
So the concensus is that they are good?

yeah, but if you get them make sure you get adjustable ones.
I agree, I adjusted mine to the firmest position when I fitted them. I also just picked up some Whiteline swaybar links with sperical ends. Very nice stuff
