FE4 Suspension
I wonder what the folks with the 2012 SS's think of their new suspension VS the FE3?

Has anyone seen much in the way of details about this upgrade

I tried this question earlier this week and didn't get any feedback. I pick up my 12 ss/rs tomorrow so I'll let you know.

Is the FE4 going to be on the 1SS and 2SS, because I have a 2012 1ss on order.

The differences are minimal. I doubt there will be a noticeable difference stock for stock. It's more of a subtle benefit with a bigger benifit in integrity of design. Less wear and stress on the components.

That being said, I plan on doing the new LCAs and sways. Added to my current set-up I'll be worry free at that point.

Have they at least announced what specific changes were being made?

That way we can maybe even exceed those upgrades by way of aftermarket?

The Challenger got a number of things changed this MY, camber adjustments, steering ratio and so on.

I think they changed shock rates and moved the anti-roll bar.

Shock and strut dampening rates have changed. New solid front 23mm sway bar with stronger end links. Solid rear 24mm sway bar with new links and LCA mounting point. If you have aftermarket stuff already then the improvements probably wont be noticeable.

Are the shock & strut rates firmer or softer?
