Default Standard........

The FE3 is the standard suspension on base model coupes and 'verts. The F51 is one of the optional performance suspensions for coupes and 'verts. The F45 is another optional suspension for coupes and 'verts that has selective real time dampening. The FE4 is the standard Z06 suspension.

FE3 is the RPO code for the Z51...FE1 is the stock standard suspension. F45/F55 is the real time damping system (electronically adjustable), and the FE4 is the Z06 suspension.
