Front Struts?

Has anyone had any luck finding struts for the SS? I have checked everywhere, even the local Chevy dealer is telling me that no part exists for me to order through them. The only possibility I have found so far is a complete kit by FCS. I am cautious to pull the trigger on a brand I know nothing about.

I ordered the AC Delco Fe5's from Rock Auto. The first one just showed up today actually. The other side is due tomorrow

I checked Rock Auto today and they only had the left side in stock. Crate Engine Depot has a kit that includes both front struts (fe5) and both rear shocks. These are the OEMs. I might go with that. Thanks...


Rock Auto is the place I found the FCS spring/mount/strut assembly also, but it didn't specify fe5

why not buy the bundle with the yyz springs attached :) might as well lower it and get better handling/ride at the same time
unless its a bit out of your price range at the moment

Hey man I looked at rock auto and the only combo I see for strut assembly is for FCS and Unity. Do I need to say my SS is a 2.4 Lt and get those assemblies, SS is the same as the LT right?

"SS is the same as the LT right?
Hmm. Not sure where you got that from, but the answer is NO.

Didn't mean while car. I never recognized the FE3 to FE5 before. Thought the suspension was the same.
