    I was having a look at some other vts the other day and they all seemed alot higher then mine, i know my car has fe2 suspension stock which is lower, but the wheel arches are level with the top of the tyre, is that where fe2 normally sits?

    my lumina looked lowered, every1 thought i lowered it. what happens is over time the springs tend to sag which actually lowers it :p...

    there might be some tags on the coil springs which might identify what springs you have. Generally, aftermarket gear won't be a black, check the colour of the springs.

    I had a quick look just before and the springs are black.

    I also had a look at the tags on the springs, the rear spring tag said : "92048210" then below it "EM" are my springs stock :S or do does that code mean somthing

    For my car i swore i had factory fe2 suspension. But a longer look under the car found it had Selby springs - Which are manufactured by kings. So there is a slight chance you might have something similar?.
    However i just looked in your thread at your cars height on the grass. Has it dropped lower then that?, Because that looks pretty standard for FE2.

    It looks a bit higher in that pic, but yeah as i said before the arch is level with the top of the tyre, just looks really lol, maybe its just fe2 and sagged a bit
