GXP Suspension 56K
on the car
Specs for the GXP Suspension
FE5
30mm SOLID front sway, weighs about double the FE2 Bar
FE5 front Struts
16mm Front Springs FE5 spring rate, 14mm are the FE2
22mm SOLID rear sway, again weighs about double the FE2
deCarbon Rear shock absorbers with ELC
16mm Rear Springs FE5 spring rate
Rear FE2
New FE5 spring
FE2 Sway, its hollow
FE5 Sway, again this one is solid
Rear Shock Differences
Shocks installed on car
FRONT
Stock FE2 30mm and hollow
FE5 30mm and solid
Front FE2 Spring
FE5
Impressions: It raised the rideheight by about 1" the entire way around. BUT the car is on RAILS....DAMN when you turn the wheel the car turns, there is much less body roll. There is no dipping down on stops/starts. Its even more impressive because the car is a little lighter than a GXP

I don't Know how I miss this. WOW! Lookin good Pat. How did the rear springs go. I just got mine wrestled back in place for the winter. Hope to have new set of air struts fabricated and solenoids rebuilt by spring. Till then I'm at normal ride height again.

Blame me (everyone does anyway).
I'm the one who was trying to help him out in his other thread to get the right parts. I originally used this thread to help me build my FE5 swap and get the things I needed. I just wanted to show him the differences.
Tad pushy.
I'm trying to help you out and you drag up a 2 year old thread demanding part numbers.
Look it up yourself. I already gave you the info from one source.
Geez. dh2

www.compnine.com is the best place to find part numbers for any make/model.
but IF you actually took the time to look at the picture of the bar IN this thread. You would see it has the part number on it.
