Re: Fx-3 controller (Kehrer923)
Got one in mine...
It installs in the compartment behind the drivers seat. Takes about 5 minutes to change it out.
The settings I'll have to let someone else handle. I did mine at the same time I had Bilstein re-valve the shocks. Mine are nowhere near stock. They start at where the "Sport" setting was, then in Sport it is at 80% locked and in Performance it is 100% locked.
If you go to my home page link in the signature and go to "Racing the Z07" the signature picture is a little larger. I'm doing about 65 in that picture around the carousel, and there is almost zero body lean in the car. I'm pulling 1.2 G's according to my g-Analyst equipment (do NOT mistake this for the g-Tech). It still rides nice on the highway, but the girlfriend is less-than-impressed with it. I think it rides fine (after all, I had a Z51 '86 before this car), so a little stiff in the ride is a normal thing for me...

Re: Fx-3 controller (Joe90)
What would it take to put an FX-3 setup in mine? Is it just the shocks, actuators, and control module\switch? How hard would it be, how much would it cost, and would it be more effective than just buying some nice Adj Konis or Bilstiens?

Re: Fx-3 controller (GusBustamanteJr)
You want to add FX3 to a car that did not come with it originally? I did that a few years ago, and I am glad I did it. You may find a lot of negative responses from some members for wanting to try this, but I for one can tell you it is very do-able. If you use all new parts, it can run in the $5000.00 range, if you go with good used parts, you can get it done for under $1500.00. If you want help or ideas, feel free to give me a ring 941-573-5895.
