Does anyone know if there is a difference between the regular HHR Struts over the SS ones???I know there is a difference on the Springs but not sure about he Struts.Thinking about putting SS Springs on my truck but do I need the struts or can I use my current 2LT Struts??

 

I have mixed them up it works fine. There are 3 different struts and they stiffer damping from fe1=soft to fe3 sport to fe5 stiff. I have found that KYB makes a set that I would call fe4.

I did the SS spring with the 2LT strut,or fe-3, worked good. Here it is with 5 bags of concrete on board a midship.

 

Hey SS Fan did you install SS Springs in the back as well??

 

Yes, and as you can see they hold up a load great....I found them a little stiff, even with the fe3 struts and shocks....but of 4 of 5 setups, they were my second favorite.

I switched to YYZv1 and KYB struts and shocks, feels great.not much difference in stance.

 

Would cobalt SS springs work? Front and back any idea

 

Does anyone know what the Stamping/Numbering that are on the Front SS Springs.Found a set of these Springs and the guy says the #ing/Part # is the same for both of them.Did they have the same #ing on both of the springs?? Shouldn't the Springs be different or are they both the same??Does anyone know that??

 

Front #


Rear #

 

IIRC.....

The spring part numbers are the same for the front.....the front strut numbers are different, a right and a left (at least for OEM).

You can probably check the part numbers in the Sticky for elusive parts.

 

THANK YOU to all that responded to this thread I posted.Especially FIREMANGEORGE for posting them nice pictures on the #'s of the Springs.Looks like the person has the SS Springs I'm a wanting with this infor.!!Also if I'm correct these Springs are listed as FE15 does anyone know what that means??I'm thinking its the stiffness or decifering it as a SS Spring!!
Thanks to all-- The SS Springs will look nice on my truck.

 

FE5 is the gm code for the ss springs.
