Suspension Advice - Chevrolet CR8 (Middle East version of HSV E1)

[Ian Johnston]

My E1 has STD stamped on the plate as well, so must be HSV setup???

So STD HSV can't be FE2 then? I posted the part numbers so ring/email HSV and find out OP

I did read somewhere that the VE HSV is a bit lower than FE2. Maybe E2 and 3, although I think they would be the same as E1.
I presume the Magnetic setup would have the same springs as the non mag setup.

Nope completely different springs the MRC spring coils are a different diameter. Dads E3 GTS with MRC sits a faction lower then my E1 clubsport with stock suspension.

My E1 has Magnetic suspension, and I wouldnt call it low.:rofl2: The big back wheels dont help I suppose.

For everyone's information - HSV confirmed that HSV standard ride height is approximately 15mm lower than FE2. Thanks for all the feedback and help.
