• FE1 suspension – standard on LS, LT and LTZ models, it provides a smooth ride and includes a 19-mm front stabilizer bar and a 16-mm rear stabilizer bar .
• FE3 suspension – standard and available only on SS models, it delivers a firmer, more direct ride and includes 22-mm front and rear stabilizer bars, four-wheel disc brakes, monotube shocks and 17-inch wheels and performance tires.
• FE5 suspension – standard on the SS Supercharged, it was developed on the racetrack to deliver sports car levels of handling and grip; 24-mm front stabilizer bar and 22-mm rear stabilizer bar, higher-rate springs and bushings, four-wheel disc brakes, monotube shocks and 18-inch forged aluminum wheels with complementing performance tires.

So in other words, it'd be just like you dropped it an inch or so? That's look real good on my girls LS...
Personally after you price out a set of new GM springs you'll probably be looking at a good after-market company instead. I'd recommend the Pro-lines from Eibach if your looking for a little drop and some stiffer spring rates. Lots of people blow the stock struts out by going to low though so be careful.

Naw, I was asking because I'm throwing Eibachs onto my SS 2.4, so I'd have extra FE3 springs left over...
