What is FE3 sport suspension?
FE3 is the handling part of the Z51 package (the rest of the Z51 package is the coolers and tires). FE3 includes the sways, bushings, springs, and shocks of the Z51 package. You don’t want the springs or shocks, otherwise you lose the advantage of the F55 package. All you want are the sway bars and bushings.

FE1: Base Suspension. FE2: Mag-Ride on Base Suspension. FE3: Z51Suspension without Mag-Ride. FE4: Mag-Ride on Z51 Suspension. Not for track-use, but I prefer a “tight & firm” suspension that has less chasis-rolling on curves (spirit driving on normal roads).
What’s the difference between Fe2 and Fe3 front suspension?
For comparison sake, the FE2 suspension on VE / VF V8 front sway is 23mm, rear is 18mm for sedans. 26mm front (+3) sorta sounds right as the most popular aftermarket upgrade is that size, but I’ve never been able to confirm that there was actually any difference to FE2… where did you get that FE3 front is 26mm from?

FE2 is broadly similar to its VE predecessor, but FE3 goes through a significant upgrade. The obvious change is tyre size, with Holden taking a leaf from HSV’s playbook. The Redline now runs a new 245/40ZR19 on the front and wider 275/35ZR19 on the rear, developed with Bridgestone.
What is the difference between FE1 and Fe2 and Fe3?
There are three levels of suspension tune under the VF models (FE1, FE2, FE3), which are split up among the models the same way as the steering tune.

What has happened to the Commodore VE?
In the VE’s six years, steering ratios have generally quickened and the Commodore now feels slower to react through the first 15 degrees of wheel movement than it should. So, while it still feels planted, comparatively, the latest car isn’t as agile as it might be.
