Hi all, could somebody run through the differences in the standard suspension between VE Omega, SV6, Berlina, Calais and SS? I have a 60th anniversary Omega with 18 inch alloys and potenzas and am curious to see what the best mods are to the factory set up, maybe lower a bit and shockers/struts.

Thanks in advance
Tony

ve omega, berlina and calias has stock standard springs and dampers.

Sv6, ss, ssv has fe2 (lower springs by about 10mm and firmer dampers.

ve calias v has fe1.5 which is half way between stock and fe2.

Thats pretty much it you have stock suspension on your 60th.

Kings Springs Super Low will get you about 20 to 25mm From standard height but i think the Super,Super lows are the way to go they drop 30-35mm very popular spring many ve owners have these on with no issues.

Pretty sure both the VE Calais and VE Calais V are FE1.5. FE2 is an option on both though.

Initially, both were sold with FE2 as standard... Holden should have left it that way IMO.
