No published numbers that I've noticed yet. I seriously doubt any use of polyurethane. I imagine there are going to be some great improvements with these changes and can't wait to see the results

It may also include solid subframe bushings. Some people with late build 2011, have reported different bushings.

Not that it will matter a whole lot to some, but wonder how much ride quality will suffer?

It was reported through the plant tour that assembles some of the suspension that the image of the ZL1 half shaft was the smaller one, so I'm sure SS is still going to have the asy' shafts.

They aren't completely solid, if I remember correctly. It'd be nice to see if there are improvements there, too, to help mitigate the wheelhop.
