- MY9.5 VE SV6 Ute, 2001 VXII Berlina Sed
I'm looking to lower my VE Berlina to get rid of the 4WD look lol. I'm also a noob when it comes to suspension stuff so go easy ppls.
First, do the factory fitted LPG VE's (Omega/Berlina) have different springs in the rear... (I've heard some cars get stiffer and higher springs to help with the weight of the extra tank). My Berlina sits very high:
(that's not my car but it's identical except mine's parked in the dark right now...)
Basically I'm wondering if I'm going to have problems changing the rear set up if there's something different about the factory fitted shocks/springs.
I'm not looking to go mental, I just want the tyres to have about 2cm or so all round in the wheel arch when you look from the side. The front has to drop a bit, but the back... you see what I'm starting with!
Ideas and info on the factory LPG suspension setup would be great. I'm not sure what SSL etc looks like in reality and I definitely want it to be 100% legal ride height.
Cheers.
