    Default difference between fe2 springs and Normal

    i have a vz equipe wth fe2 suspension that has king SL front and rear and i am looking at lifting the car back to original as it scrapes on our driveway. So the question is Whats the difference with original and fe2 springs and do i just need to fit the sorings then get an allignment?

    yeah fe2 is slighlty lower and stiffer than normal, i think the shocks might be slighlty diff to.

    and pretty much just swap them and get a wheel alignment
    Chev badges are an instant fail

    Probably won't affect your car if you revert to standard springs but FE2 also had uprated sway bars.

    vt-vz suspension components are the same im pretty sure.
    Sticking a Chev badge on any Commodore is like putting a Nissan badge on a VL
