lowering ssv

[slepar]

I also have a question I hope someone can answer. I've got a ve Calais with fe2 suspension I want to lower it on ssl all round, my question is has anyone done this? How rough is the ride? Will the fe2 shocks be fine to use? I really want to lower it but don't want a rough ride and cant really afford to change shocks at the moment. Cheers

Finally got the car lowered, now have a look at how low the exhaust sits.

You are going to have a lot of issues with that set up mate, you have dropped her to low by the look of those images.

What springs are you running ?

Cheers.

Hey slepar I have an VE International with 18's i put king springs SSL doesn't sit that low that i have to angle over speed bumps etc. I have the standard suspension, its a little bit rough depending on the road if i was to do it again id go SL for ride comfort. Hope this helps.

Thanks for that but do internationals have fe2 or standard shocks? Do I have a pic? I have 20s and want it to be just on the tyre

Inters have standard suspension, they are nothing more than Omega's with 18's and leather seats.

Cheers.

Thanks for that. So with saying that ssl with my fe2 shocks should be a pretty comfortable ride

It will be ok with decent roads mate. Still some Jolts on the crap roads.

Cheers.
