Wanting to get the bmr 1 inch drop springs and also some other things to upgrade the suspension.. is there a package you guys recommend from bmr or should I buy things separately and what to buy..it’s still all stock and need some upgrades…I don’t race the car…thx

Personally, I tried the lowering springs route and did not like the way the car rode. Others have lowering springs and swear by them. After wasting money with that route... I broke down and bought BCRacing coilovers... best upgrade I have done to my car yet.

For 2010, upgrade to the newer style lower control arm & sway bar combo is one of the best things to do. I think it’s upgrading from FE3 to FE4 if I remember the designations correctly.

FE4..wonder if one of the vendors has a FE4 package I can buy…see if I can find one..thx

Really, FE is a GM label and would probably have to be pieced together, assuming that you can still get the parts.

I really like my set up, BMR Sway bars adjustable front and rear ( order for FE4 Set up ) Adjustable Toe Rods, Trailing arms and I would get the adjustable LCA If I did it again ( I have non adjustable and It was hard to get alignment specs because I was not lowered enough for them. I have 1" Hotckis drop springs, Z/28 UPCA bushings and Hendrix solid Cradle bushings, If you are not going to do cradles then loo into Hotckis brace. If you do cradles Def do UPCA Mounts. Front I just did the radius rod inserts.

The biggest difference between the FE3 (‘10-11) and the FE4 (‘12-15) is the sway bars and the LCAs. FE4 moved the mount point for the rear sway bar outboard. The FE3 mounts had a tendency to rip off under track use. The updated FE4 LCA OEM part can accommodate both suspensions.
