Default Which one?

Which one offers better handling? The FE2 swaybars? or the FE3? Or are they the same and FE3 uses different springs?

Seth, the swaybars are the same, springs are different. Each 'F' class may have as many as 5 different rates for springs as well. It'* more of a RANGE of stiffness, rather than a single spring rate.

Also, you can't mix and match springs from different cars, even if they're all the same RPO. For the reason I mentioned above. They're computer-matched sets.

Yup. The only way to know what range you have is to mic them, It gets boring quickly.

FE3 as I know it is a Buick thing.
