Default SR Wagon leaf springs

Can anyone confirm if SR wagon leaf springs would be lower than standard AU/BA wagon springs?

As far as I know there were no suspension changes from base model to SR. The SR was an option pack consisting mainly of appearance items to help sell the run-out model. In the AU range it included things like side skirts, mags, rear power windows, cruise, decals and not much else.

I think this is right but I do think you could actually option Tickford suspension on an SR - not 100% sure on that though.

If you are looking to lower a car you would need XR leafs or aftermarket ones. I have some XR ones if you are wanting a set.

this is what the AU sits like with stock leafs but with GAS shocks in the front and back




the EF sits at the same height (this was before the FTR's went on)

both have the same shocks and front springs
