04 FE4 suspension changes?
How has the suspension changed from 03 to 04? The RPO box states stiffer springs, larger stabilizer bar (front swaybar I assume), and revised shock calibration. I'm mostly interested in the spring rate changes but wouldn't mind hearing about the rest.
thanks,

That refers to the difference between FE1,3, and 4 for '04, not the FE4 change from '03. Spring rates are unchanged. Changes include shock valving, front upper control arm bushings, and something in the antiroll bar bushings on one end or the other - can't remember which. Overall the '04 Z06 has better ride and handling than '03.

Shock valving.
Stiffer upper control arm bushings.
Softer (slightly) rear stabilizer bar bushings.
That's it.
