Is our stock suspension worth anything or just give away/throw away?
Think I read that the ecodiesel suspension has different springs in front to accommodate the heavier engine..

Definitely keep and sell springs, links, and shocks at least. The control arms and track bars are the same across all models.

I’ll be the odd man out - I tossed mine. All other models have side specific springs which means the diesel ones won’t work well for them. Plus, I didn’t want them cluttering up the garage.

Yeah I have a lack of space at the moment.
Can't get into my basement due to hige berms of ice.
I was considering giving them to the installer.
Also don't know what to do with my stock wheels, seems like there isn't a demand for them.

I listed my parts for sale. No takers.

If you can find someone to buy them great. But don't set expectations too high.

Seems like you should be able to get something for the wheels. Those are more “universal “. Have you tried FB marketplace?

Top dollar for stock wheels would be $250 for all five everything else...... isn't worth the space it occupies. Tossed mine, after 6 months. Glad I did.

I've replaced stock suspension parts on several cars I've owned.

- 2000 Trans Am WS6 - wheels, springs, shocks, swaybars, control arms, panhard rod, bushings
- 2008 Pontaic G8GT - shocks, springs, front control arms, swaybars, wheels, stereo
- 2017 Chevy Camaro SS - wheels, shocks, springs, swaybars, front control arms

I was unable to sell any of the above parts.

Yeah. Me too. Could not even get $100 and scrapped them.

The springs are definitely different but that doesn't seem to faze people. On the positive side, they sure won't have to worry about bottoming out the front end.

Edit: shop giyd said there was a box they didn't see under the other boxes haha!

The shop is installing right now and called to say I need longer stabilizer bars for front and rear. Is this true?

When I ordered the metalcloak game changer they said everything was included.

You might be able to give them away - other wise they sit around and take space..I did sell my stock 33s for $800
