Hey ppls, have done a few searches but can't find what I am after.
I have a 2014 VF Calais V Sportwagon, and find the suspension too soft, as I was driving across the country (SA - QLD via NT) and with the kids in the back and the car loaded, the headlights were too high, and it was last second before I saw the kangaroo. (Lucky it didn't move and I took evasive action, but I did ****), and the other day I did a dump run (7x5 cage trailer) and when parked outside of Bunnings, noticed the rear sitting low, when the trailer was empty.
Not looking at lowering the car (wife drives it most of the time, and she has done a few things to a previous car that was lower), but if new springs lower it slightly, no biggie.
The compliance plate has STD for suspension, which from what I can find, the Calais has the base coils for a smoother ride. I used to have a VY S pac (FE2), and that was fine.
Thinking FE2 for a firmer ride, FE3 might be too harsh, or not? Any experienced ppls for this.
Will VF2 coils fit a VF?
I can find that VE coils are the same as VF.
I think SSV coils are FE2, but SSV Redline are FE3
Will sedan coils be ok, im assuming ute coils are different.
Cheers in advance.
