Which Bonnys have the F41 suspension? Where does it stack up with other FE2 FE3? Which is best for handling?

I Have the F41 in my car... i don't know what the difference in ride/handling is, i havn't driven any other bonnevilles except for mine. I have never had any problems with mine except for the normal stuff... i did replace the front struts about 2 weeks ago though. I think the ride is great too...

I've got the PA version of the F41 and it does pretty well, but the FE2 in my old '95 SSEi was a lot more tossable.

I'd rather have F41, but FE2 handles ok

I have F41.

I think it is one of the reasons that I love my Bonnie so much.

Very firm in the corners,
Theres a "*" curve about a mile and a half from my house...

In either one of my vans or my Malibu Wagon I have to take it at the marked limit of 45 MPH, but in the Bonnie I can take it at 65 with out any noise from the tires or body lean.

I used to have a '80 Dodge Diplomat Ex Highway Patrol car and I think my Bonnie handles as well or better than it did.
