Cobalt SS Suspension?
ok i searched for this but cant find an answer...
i know there are different types of suspension for the cobalt, for example, on my base model i have fe1. i want to get the shocks and struts from the cobalt ss but i dont want the supercharged ss suspension, i want the fe5 suspension from the ss/tc. i looked on crateenginedepot.com and only found one fe5 suspension and i asked tech support if there was a difference between the ss/tc shocks and struts and the ss/sc shocks and struts and he said there wasnt. but im pretty sure there is....
does anybody know if there is a difference between them and where i can get the turbo suspension and/or part numbers?
thanx

I am pretty certain that the struts are better in the TC but not 100%.
The big difference in the LS and SS suspension is sway bars, better struts, and lower springs. But other than that I think everything is the same. I know that they are all interchangeable..

ok i looked at that sticky and i guess i can now say that there is a FE5(LNF) suspension and a FE5(LSJ) suspension. now on crateenginedepot.com and gmpartsdirect.com, they show FE5 suspension but which one is it? Where can i find the FE5(LNF) suspension?

yea its crazy how our base models can have the very same handling potential as the ss/tc since all the suspension is interchangeable except for lsd i think. i just want to get my hands on this suspension so i can start changing out things. pm me if u find anything
