Fe5 Springs and struts

Would putting a set of Fe5 Front struts and springs along with read shocks and springs make a difference in handling?

FE5 shocks and springs would make a big difference on your 2.2L LS. I ran FE5 Struts and shocks with CM springs. Made the car a lot tighter. Its a good upgrade for a 2.2L

the fe5 struts and shocks give your car more of a sport suspension, a little tighter, bumpier, stiffer, but corners excellent.

the springs might lower your car about an inch, i recommend getting aftermarket springs if you have the funds and want to drop your car a little more than an inch or so... the LS cobalts come so high from the factory it looks ridiculous...

i'm going to hijack this real quick (sorry) but what kind of shocks and struts would be best if you want a more comfortable ride, with lets say the eibach sportlines? just wondering because i'm looking for the best set up without actually going with coilovers.

Yeah the ride height is ridiculous on the LS. Thanks for the info about the FE5 struts and shocks. How much would it cost to get some?

i have my lowring springs and im happy. not going to spend more just for my car to be even stiffer. coilovers however are the ****. but i dont think to many of us driving 2.2s can justify the cost.
