FE2 Suspension vs FE3 Suspenion? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

What are the differences between the FE2 and FE3 suspension? Besides the obvious brakes/rotors/struts/springs/sways. Are the LCA's the same? Sway bar Endlinks? All info is apperciated.

Sway bars and Springs/Struts. All other hardware are the same.

So the endlinks for the sway bars are the same too?

Might as well go to FE4

I already have the fe3 struts/springs. And all of the rear components of the fe3. So I'll go with it for now and then upgrade once I get everything on!

Are the automatic fe2 and manual (six-speed) fe3 axles the same?

Automatic axles are smaller on the V6, if you are going to a V8 differential you will need axles and hubs.

I think so, any difference would be the diameter of the link, the ends are the same. They can handle stiffer sway bars unless you track the car very hard.

Nah, maybe a couple trips to the drag strip. But no hard cornering. So you think the v6 endlinks will be fine with the SS sway bar?

Yes, I run BMR sway bars which are a lot stiffer with no problems.
