Just find an FE5 suspension from a Bonneville GXP. It bolts right on, and is a nice upgrade. Of course, the trick is finding it. Also be aware that the front struts are apparently unavailable new. I was able to find all the above from a GXP with a claimed 70K miles. The GXP front struts were definitely more solid than the ones that came off, and the rears were better than the new KYBs I had put on the rear right after I got the car. I'm happy. You can also use polyurethane pieces for the front & rear sway bars. I haven't, yet, but probably will in the future. |

That's the simplest route. Poly endlinks are super easy as well. The sway bar mount.bushings aren't too difficult either. |

So, the sway bar from a gxp is thicker than the one on a ssei? |

IIRC it's either thicker or solid versus hollow tube. It is definitely higher-rate. |

IIRC it's both slighter thicker and solid vs hollow for the SLE/SSEi. |

IIRC = If I Recall Correctly. GXP sway bar is the same diameter as the SSEi, but it is solid vs hollow. Mega weight and stiffness difference. |
