Funny you should ask...Yes I started with fe5 and the YYZv1's, awesome cornering but a little sharp on the bumps, switched to the fe3 still corners really flat without a sway bar, and rides so smooth.

Next we installed YYZv2's with fe5 on Banshee's SS. I really can't tell any difference, perhaps I accidentally got a second set of the same springs.

After installing a ZZP intake Banshee's SS doesn't like, we went out to do a couple data logs to get it fixed. When I see another S10 with a cowl hood that has openings in the front of the cowl. I tell Seth to pass it so we can see the hood from the front again......Ha Ha Ha ...

I notice as we come up on the S10, he's got 12" of rubber under the back, and said ..wonder if he has the V8 to go with them tires...Ha Ha Ha....Well we were at a stop sign at that point. The S10 rolls a couple feet away from the stop and lights up them wide tires (both of them) and is gone like he was shot from a gun... Banshee is just sitting there looking at me like.....WTF just happened. I had to say your not going to let him get away with that are you ???

I wanted to share this just for "Sleeper" a big block S10 will get as quick as a tuned SS, I have seen it. BTW we didn't get to see the hood from the front again....

I'm paying attention, I just bought apair of KYB 349043 rr shocks, supposedly for my 2lt, I asked the guy what the part number for the LS was? same number! Then asked for SS- same number too WTF!

Any way I'm Looking for rear springs to bring the ass-end down a little bit and ride alot better! Guess I will need new front springs too? ...john

No, but they all work together. Some flavor of SS springs (there are three) have been used to lower the rear by lots of members.
