- VFII Calais-V V8
Hi New Poster,
I am just about to take the plunge and purchase a 2015 VFII Calais-V V8 demo. I think it is a pretty good deal; includes 20inch HF wheels, tint, boot lip spoiler and they are fitting Walkinshaw lowering kit for $50K drive-away. But I am wondering whether the car will behave/handle alright if it has the standard shocks with the lowered springs. I am a mature driver in their late forties; I am not going to drive this thing like a race car; but if driven spiritedly I want the behaviour to be predictable and I want it to ride well over lumps and bumps without getting any unacceptable bounce. The primary purpose of the suspension mod is looks and improved handling (flatter cornering) relative to the standard suspension on the Calais or SSV.
Has anyone had any experience with a VF where they have lowered the car with springs and left the standard FE2 shocks. Would appreciate any thoughts.
