"IRS Suspension" there we go....Ummm I don't know :confused: How do I find out? And why you asking?
Take a photo of your diff and the general area I'll tell you if you have or not :)

How low would FE2 make it sit?
about an inch lower than it is now. FE2 are the 1 inch lower springs that the S-packs and SSs came out with.

Not 100% sure but being a V6 I think you'd need V6 FE2 springs, as the V8 ones are designed with the heavier 5L in mind.. could end up not changing your front height at all haha

FE@ you wont need to worry about anything but if you go lower you should get an adjustable panhard rod. Looks like the exhaust has hit the panhard rod a few times already
