GXP FE3 Suspension not the FE3 from ZOK as advertise by GM
Reason for the thread name and the fact that I am still very disappointed at the overall handling of my GXP even with the Eagles F1's GS-D3's.
This link:
Gxp Z0k?
a quote from it:

Astocker,Everyone
I just finished filming a TV show with the GXP for Speed Channel (today) (buildorbust.com click trailers "SETUP") I had access to the GM Performance guys (multiple guys/prat&miller/Lutz/Sitek Ect... The big guys in Charge of everything Solstice, so to speak. The GXP Does not have the ZOK shocks and springs, in fact for the show we swapped the stock springs out with the club sport or ZOK springs per GM Performance division. The GXP is heavier on the nose as most of you know and the ZOK springs really let the front drop. When the GXP ZOK comes out later this year it will most likely have redesigned front springs for the heavier nose but the rears will probably remain the same as the ZOK (ClubSport).
Meanwhile check out speed channel on April 18th at 8pm to see a new show called "setup" you'll find a few recognizable autocrossers kicking some butt. :-))

Another quote this time from ASTOCKER:

The thing I learned from Ron and Kevin is that the car really needs those springs from the Z0K package. When I bought the car I was told they were the same as on the the GXP: they are not. I think having them would make a fairly big difference.

Based on the above I wrote the following part numbers from my GXP, can SD, SM or Windface verify that these are suppose to be the parts numbers for a GXP suspension and if they check out are these the part numbers for a FE3 suspension parts THANKS.
REAR SWAY BAR # 15224878
REAR SHOCKS BILSTEIN # C648
REAR SPRINGS # 15784886
FRONT SWAY BAR # 15224873
FRONT SPRINGS # 15784872
FRONR SHOCKS BILSTEIN # C646
