This is a wild goose chase. Car is a fe4 car. I am looking for front struts. Help? Kyb gas models? Gmpartsdirect ones that are listed for V?

I just bought some fronts from gmpartsdirect. They are fe4 oem units. No problems.

I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to say there, you may be correct but I can't make sense of it.

FE4 is the standard strut/shock package for the V. FG2 was an optional more track oriented setup. Both are self-leveling nivomat technology for the rear shocks. Fronts are pretty standard strut design, not self leveling. Front FE4 are about $100 each and rears are about $200 ea.

I found Sachs rears on rockauto and the Sachs fronts on autozone.

why not go with belltech (kw) coilovers instead? ive seen them on ebay for around $1700. not as cheap as oem replacement shocks/struts but handle just as good, if not better while having the option of height adjustment.

Ok...so the Sachs works as fe4? Not as a fe1 type replacement?n looks like they were OE for fg2 and fe4?

For the record, 9/10 people couldnt tell you the difference after driving an fe4 car vs fg2 car. I have driven both and there was no way in hell I could tell you which car had fe4s vs fg2s.

let me check my stock for the shocks...I may have a full set of the self levelin shocks

Edit: Sorry they were tossed yrs ago...

and from what I have read when it comes to the fronts there is not much difference in the two.

I think I am going by autozone today and see if the local guys know enough to pull this off. If not I will do it myself online.
