difference in the fg1 and fg2

whats up everyone quick question for you suspension gurus i have a fg1 with megan springs on stock shocks and i have afriend who has a fg2 with the same springs but the front of his car is lower than mine so i started to think could that be because the k20 is heavier so is all fg springs really interchangable? well give me feedback guys

springs are interchangeable... yes. k20 IS heaver and will, thus, sit lower on the same set of springs

Ask a shop to cut the spring.
