ride height of fe2 suspension in vz wagon

[elusive1]

hi all,i currently have a stock 05 v6 vz wagon, looking at getting some well priced fe2 suspension that are available front + rear springs/shocks.

question. Does anyone have a pic of a vz/vy wagon with fe2 suspnesion? or can supply me with height from ground to guard? so i can guage how much lower mine will sit.

can i use my original shockers as my car has only done 35K and these have done 80K?

if i use my shockers will the car sit the same, or lower it? as Fe2 sits about 20mm lower than stock? please correct me if im wrong!


thanks all.

Dont have a wagon but the ride height from ground to guard on my VZ SV6 Is:

Front: 662mm
Rear: 672mm

I would suggest getting a whole new set of shocks as the original shocks are suited to the std ride height & wont last very long as there travel has been shortened.

Shocks dont lower a car the springs do.

cool thanks, i was thinking that maybe the FE2 struts are shorter?

Sorry mate, forgot to add that.

so the struts are shorter on Fe2? so i will need to use the fe2 struts?

if i use my current ones and the Fe2 springs, will my car lower?

quite possibly, and the period of time you get out of your shocks will be quite shorter change it all over or buy some new FE2 struts
