Alex just get a new one if you have to. Its $100 from CED. The lightweight ones arent worth the trouble or money.

they're also not worth it...
need new shocks and new springs? get coilovers, you'll save money (or time) on install too.
need just new shocks? go aftermarket, like kyb. it'll be cheaper, and better imho.

yeah the FE5 is a huge improvement over FE1. If you want the adjustability get Koni Yellows. If you want to drop $1200 on coilovers well then thats your choice.
