FE3 Question

[highoctane]

By the way, could someone tell me what is special about the FE3 as apposed to other Cutlasses???

FE3 is the sport tuned suspension while all the other Cutlasses have FE1 comfort, roll in the curves, plain jane suspension.

FE3 is stiffer front springs, stiffer rear leaf, bigger front and rear sway bars.

Cool I figured it was basically just suspension stuff, now the tranny that would be the 4T60 or 4T60-E??? being an 89?

440-t4 which is essentially what the 4t60 is.

i've got an 87 or 88 buick that has the FE3 suspension, TH440, and the H.O. 3800 series 1. kick ass car but i want rid of it.

The FE3 gives you a rear sway bar whereas FE1 you get nothing. Front bar is 30mm solid, front springs are a hair lower, stiffer. Rear has a more solid "auxiliary" spring vs the figure-8-shaped FE1. That about covers it.

Want to note that later FE1 cars, e.g. my old 92 GP had a smaller (12mm) rear sway bar, as opposed to the larger FE3 (14mm) rear sway bar

BOULDERDASH!!! Must be a pontiac-bonus. My sis's '93 CS Sedan has FE1 and no rear swaybar. Again, Pontiac/Bonus. Just like if you get FE1 on a Lumina, you get no FRONT swaybar, and cheesecake for a rear monoleaf. LOL

Only the lumina would come with no sway bars, LOL
