Default No lowering springs available for the 2.0

So after a few phone calls it seems that the OEM springs in the 2.0 are different than the 3.0 , due to lighter engine in the 2.0, so there seems to be no manufacturer doing lowering springs to lower the 2.0 😭😭

So if anyone is interested got a reply from a UK dealer service guy and he tells me that all variants except the SVR have the same suspension set up and the engine weight difference wouldn't be enough to notice a difference... So the springs for the 3.0 will fit the 2.0 model.

It's not *strictly* true - there are actually multiple part numbers and colour codes for all the springs. However, practically speaking, all the rears are basically the same.

The SVR and the 'R' have different front springs to the V6 & V8S.

Your probably reading my post on the other forum, as you said rears may be the same , the front may need a bit of work due to the lighter 2.0 engine weight, i will see how the front looks . i may have to trip the spring a bit, how much roughly does taking half a coil off lower a car usually, or is it a matter of just do a small bit and test
