FE1 springs with FE5 shocks question.

Is anyone running the FE1 springs with FE5 shocks?
I was wondering how the ride would be with this set-up

I just wanted to post a update.
This is a good setup. It's a nice ride without being harsh at all.
But at the sametime I don't get as much body roll as i did on the stock FE1 shocks.

I just recently replaced my shocks and struts with FE5 as well.

Your right cut some body roll.

You do the front sway bar?

I'm also going to be getting pedders soon.


Great feeling ride but I took some turns and now I think my control arm bushings are out

No i'm still on the stock FE1 Sway. I thought about the FE5 springs. But it's not enough of a drop from stock to be worth the hassle.
