Better in every way. It's too bad Chevrolet decided to dump the FX3. It really was a fantastic shock system, shared only with the Porsche 959.

Here's the best article on the FX3 system, written by our own Hib Halverston.

Fascinating read! Thanks so much for posting this! Now I really want my rear shocks replaced so I can finally experience the designers intent.

Looking forward to hearing about your results and how the shocks work with the early springs!

It's so cool that our 30 years old ZR has it! Many people over here see American cars from the 80s and early 90s as gas guzzling dinosaurs, technologically as advanced as an empty water bucket. They freak out when I start praising the advantages of my ZR-1! And even I can't believe HOW far GM was ahead of the pack.
