Im trying to upgrade my suspension on my 05 balt without having to downgrade my wallet. In addition to a future spring set purchase, I was advised to try out these FE5 strut and shock package, but how much better is it?

How much of an upgrade is it and whats different from stock?





much appreciated

you have the original FE5 suspension. If you want to upgrade to SS/TC FE5 suspension, I found the kit from CED for like under $800

 

hhmm I was directed to this link http://www.crateenginedepot.com/stor...P2433C188.aspx

fairly cheaper then $800, we talking about the same package?

 

hahaha fairly cheaper? its like a 1/4 of the price ha. Thats the whole thing i believe! im going to that kit this coming season along with pedders springs. Overall a lot of people say it handles like a champ after. I've ridden in a stock SS/TC and i do think they handle a bit better then us on the regular FE5 SS/SC setup.

 

haha yeah alot cheaper.

thats what ive heard too, but i like to see a spec comparison before buying anything. or at least hear it from someone who knows.

 

i have sssc front struts.

 

Well, a few years ago they selled the FE5 kit off the SS/SC. Now they have like $2xx.xx for the FE5 SS/TC which isn't bad. I priced the kit, plus 23mm sway bar off SS/TC, bushings/clamps plus shipping at $499.98
