Suspension advice
Hi all after I buy a top swap kit from morads i want to upgrade my suspension since the rear is shot i think (it makes a hammer to metal noise) I am a complete noob all i know is i think i dont have FE2 cause i dont have the air button in the trunk like SSEis i have a 2000 SLE. So what i wanna know is a list of parts to buy for my front and rear suspension i want it to handle very well. Any help is appreciated.

you might still have the FE2 some of the 00+ SLE'* did. You will need to check your RPO codes to be sure
any 00+ Bonneville (FE2) or Aurora (FE3) suspension would fit

Thx 1993 but I dont know if i wanna go the route of FE2 or FE3. Maybe it does have FE2 so all i have to do ids change the shot shocks? I want to know though performance parts i can change like sway bars, coils, etc things like that i wanna buy a complete set for the front and rear all swapped to better parts or are the OEM good enough?

Try looking at Auto Parts Fast at RockAuto and see what they have listed. Not sure what is available in performance suspension. We are talking about a 4000 pound car here. Toddster had changed his struts last year, he might be able to shed some light on this as well. I'm sure he will be on later on today.

Take a look in the performance area of the tech info. There'* several weight reduction tips, and some performance ideas. Most are for a supercharged engine, but you might find some useful information.
