Is the drop on these springs lower than the reduced DriveE spring ride height?

It is not an easy thing to tell exactly what is fitted as standard on these cars as it is a bit of a lottery as the cars go through the assembly line. What you need to do is check your Identification plate and tally it up with the attached picture to gain the codes for the springs that your car left the factory with.

If you post backup the codes/numbers then I can have a look to see what they equate to.

In general there is more of a difference on the shocks fitted rather than springs. You get 'Efficiency' shocks and 'Efficiency' roll bars and then the choice of about 12 different Spring sets.

I was looking through the man cave and these springs are still available if anyone is interested.
