But why buy SE suspension when you can get a performance setup and outhandle a stock SE.

Oh, rims also play a role in performance. SE has wider rim/tire for better traction and handling.

Why aim so low?

Aftermarket is better and cheaper in almost every respect than trying to replicate the OEM SE trim package.

to turn it into an SE change the suspension and get rid of the chrome door handles (which i kinda like), add a spoiler, if u dont have the kool wipers and the kool adjustments for yor driver seat - get rid of the rev limiter......one quick question...... what is the difference between intermittent wipers and the regular wipers?? - i dont kno cause all of the cars i ever drove had intermittent wipers (according to the specification sheet)

Dude intermittent wipers have 4 settings: off, variable, slow, and fast. The variable speed lets you adjust the speed w/ a dial. Regular wipers just have off, slow, and fast.

Yes I think they all have intermittent setting, but one is fixed, the other is adjustable. The dotted line on the switch indicates intermittent.

Hehe! Looks like more than just the suspension!
1. Suspension.
2. Leather wrapped steering & ****.
3. fogs.
4. white faced gauges.
5. spoiler.
6. sport wheels.
7. rev limiter.
8. intermittent wipers?
....

Like someone said before though, you can get a lot of nice aftermarket parts ....mostly cheaper than OEM.... check out the rest of the ORG for stuff. Why stop at the SE when you can go much further!

You can even put on those wonderful Altezzas everyone loves!

Hmmm, very good question. Maybe you got a 'confused' GXE.
