    If the plate says you have FE2 then you have it. Mine has ~200K and shockers etc have never been changed....still corners and handles better than pedestrian models.

    Shockers would be aftermarket at 200k.

    If springs have been replaced they will be an aftermarket brand (you wouldnt replace with second hand standard height springs).

    Get under and check what colour your springs are. Black is factory so that would be your FE2 springs. Yellow is normally King Springs, Red is pedders, Blue is lovells. They are the 3 main aftermarket brands.

    If your car has done 200,000km's and still has the original shockers i'd hate to ride in your car :p
