Not true.. The sc and tc versions had a Fe5 suspension and the 2.4 and 2.2 had a fe3 suspension.. I'm gonna have to do more research to find out what's different about them.

SS/SC & SS/TC = Fe5
SS/NA & Sport = Fe3
LS, LT, LTZ = Fe1

Nice work on the swap though!!

Looks clean.

Then why does everyone want the TC fe5 package? Not trying to doubt you or be a smart ass. Its just that I have a 07 SC and I didnt think I have fe5

because it was updated from the SS/SC's Fe5 suspension.

I have an 07' SS/SC myself.

I'm gonna lower mine. Should I even worry about getting a fe5 suspension? I mean is it going to handle better or be stronger than what I have?

HIDs in stock reflector housings can cause major glare on other drivers. Do you get flashed a lot (giggity!)?

Not at all.. I have never got flashed cause I have them aimed down slightly.. I'm just running the stock housing till after I get my stage kit since we have no cheap housings for our cars!! Can't find anything under $150 and me getting staged is way more important than too expensive cheaply made housings.. Ya know!? But I know what you mean! I hate those people!! I'm gonna go with a black housing when I do but I absolutely think the headlight with all the led's and stupid looking halo's kinda look dumb.. I don't know.. I'm sure they don't make aftermarket without them.. I just need a hid projector lens and a high beam one and hazard lights.. I just can't get into the led halo style!!!

what exactly did you need to do? I'm in the midst of attempting the exact same swap. Got a lsj motor and trans with ecm for decent price and picking up a ss N.A from the same year as my motor
