FE3 suspension questions problems etc.
Alright well went to put my lowering springs on and not only are my endlinks seized but they are also frozen. (at 27k miles) so we tried getting them off (stupid I could of had gm warranty it out..) but anyway I need to buy need endlinks now (only 20 a piece on gmpartsdirect). So heres a few questions.
#1 would it be worth upgrading to the FE5 sway bar at this point? Itd cost about 100 dollars more...
#2 The springs im putting on are Eibach pro's. To my knowledge the FE3 cars are the same ride height as FE1 just have a stiffer spring. Is this correct? If so then im getting the desired lowering I wanted if not then im going to be the same ride height.
#3 It was listed in the suspension sticky that FE3 cars are 22mm sway bars front and rear while the FE5 sway bars are listred as 24mm front and rear on the 08 and ups. If this is the case and I replaced my front bar with a 24mm FE5 and my rear was an FE3 then wouldnt the OTTP hardcore bare be a bit closer to the Street bar on the FE3 suspension due to the smaller rear bar?
#4 What kind of handle gains can I expect with the FE5 24mm front bar and Eibach pro springs on the my 08 sport with it being on the stock 17 wheels and tires?
