Does anyone know what the difference is between:

I came across a few websites that claim FE3's are not good for lowering with aftermarket springs as they are a load levelling shock, unlike the Fe2's. This means they will potentially try to raise the rear back to the standard height. Anyone aware of this or is it a non issue?

As far as I can tell the OP was the only person with a VFII redline that was looking to lower whilst keeping the original FE3 shocks. I would love to know how this went for him.

Hi Guys - I'm really wanting to lower my SSVR but just want to hear any feedback from anyone here that does any towing and what issues I may run into? Towing my caged boxed trailer is no problem but towing the boat could be, any experiences from anyone here with towing once you have lowered the car i.e. tyre rubbing etc? I notice now when the boat is hitched and the boot is full the rear really drops which also makes the front look high in the sky. Cheers, JAK.
