Are PPV Shocks better than FE3's?

Hmmm so you like the all 4 corners ppv ....I personally dont mind a stiff ride I actually want it ...just dont want knock out my fillings in my teeth when I hit a bump ....you know like a tow truck type of ride lol

No worries about the fillings. I think the G8 should have come from the factory with PPVs. The fe2s were too sloppy for a sport sedan. The G8 is my trip car so with 18 inch wheels with hi-perf tires and poly strut bushings I'm on the edge (for comfort). If you have any other wheel/suspension upgrades that might change the outcome.

Thanks alot for input ...I made up my mind all 4 corners ppv ��..now I thinkin a gm outlet for parts unless you know a one stop shop I get parts from? Whiteline mounts & bearings and ac delco struts ...should I do the stab links too?

The stabilizer links you can easily check for any slop in them and do them separately as they don't affect the alignment.

As for parts, I only did poly strut bushings back in 2010 and the PPVs (from Amazon) so no advice there.

I think the PPVs will work out for you as they have for me but I recognize they have resulted in uncomfortable rides for some. Seems a lot of ride related items are hit or miss on the G8 like poly strut bushings. About 50% say they added harshness, 50% say no real impact (like me). Fe3 vs PPV, some say PPVs are harsher, others say they ride the same. Cradle inserts, etc. etc. That's why I said the G8 seems on the edge for comfort.

I'm scheduled to do my PPV struts and Tein springs this weekend, as long as no one makes plans that changes me from doing the project. I'll have some feedback in a week or so.

I found the best prices on Amazon. I went with the Hybrid Super Pro mounts instead of the Whiteline moumts to get durability but try and avoid harshness.

Don't forget to get the new bumpstops and bellows.

Give me till Tuesday after I do the project and get it aligned and I'll verify all the part numbers for you.

Shoot me a pm so I don't forget...

Amazon had the best price on the rears that I could find. Something like $56 a piece. The front right was $67 and the front left is oddly like $100 so I believe Rock Auto is second cheapest.

Thanks ��

Just a heads up if anyone was waiting my wife needed the car this weekend. So waiting 3 weeks for my next R-day is gonna happen.

I anyone wants the list of part numbers I gathered from many sources/threads I'll put it together. It's just not verified. Just ask.
