    Smile suspension Question/s

    Have a general Question regarding Holden suspension. Just need to the Difference between Fe1.5 and Fe2. and What what is classed as spots suspension.. I have a SVZ first time of owning one, and i have noticed the back of the car is more sagged then the front. I do have a Toe hitch on the back if that helps. I more keen in getting the car level again...

    fe2 is a slightly firmer and lower suspesion setup

    this is factory on any sv6, sv8, ss, monaro, most calais and any ex cop car

    i beleive it was also added to a few of holdens special models like the svz, lumina and equipe but i could be wrong on that part.

    the back end of your wagon could be lower because of extra weight in the back at times or it has been lowered at the back, could even be that your rear suspension needs to looked at and replaced.
    Chev badges are an instant fail

    Does he have a wagon?

    The tow bar on it suggests it has been used for towing.....(duh) and the rear springs are probably a bit sagged due to that fact.

    Never knew there was a FE1 but FE2 is a sports suspension setup, it sits about 0.5 - 1in lower than standard.
    Do you carry any tools/equipment in the back?

    If they are the stock springs, they should have a white label on them with a part number.

    Before you lift her . .

    You can check the plate on the front right in frontof the airbox. It has 'paint', 'trim' etc plus 'susp'. If its standard .. std, if its something else... fe2 or similiar.

    Hope that helps.
