Need help finding 2nd gen SS/TC springs

ok so ss/sc springs are not as stiff in rear as ss/tc springs from what i've heard.

If im going to upgrade my suspension I will be wanting the ss/tc springs.

Has anyone confirmed the 08 SS springs/shocks listed on gmpartsdirect.com as being the new generation FE5's?

Look in the suspension RPO sticky, Ive got all the part numbers listed there. If you type in the part numbers they'll come up with TC FE5 parts.

You should also seriously consider getting either SC or TC rear shocks when you swich over to TC springs....the stock FE1 shocks dont have enough damping for the TC springs imo....they will be a little bouncy without the FE5 shocks(either set) I have the SC shocks

Rears are 100% bolt in. The fronts require you to modify the factory strut and insert the Koni cartridge inside the factory strut shell.
