Hey Guys -

I was wondering how a 2001 GLE with a FSTB and RSB would compare to a stock 2001 SE in terms of ride and handling characteristics.

If you don't have first-hand experience, your theories are more than welcome. Thanks!

That setup would probably out handle a stock se.

Thanks punkdork -

By the way, regarding suspension, what are the differences between the SE and GLE/GXE?

stiffer springs on the SE, doing the ftsb and rsb will definately out handle the SE

Has anoyone confirmed that the springs are stiffer? I seem to rememeber others saying that the springs aren't any stiffer.

but the SEs do have stiffer shocks and that is why the SEs have harsher rides...not the springs...
