Camaro v6 1LE suspension

I have a 2010 camaro LT/RS and am looking to upgrade my suspension. Is the 1LE suspension upgrade from Chevrolet performance worth it??? Please let me know!

When I had my V6 I added the 1LE suspension and the car drove great at the track. Better handling than my current ZL1.

I picked up all the parts of another 1LE owner upgrading for only about $750.

Good luck.

I installed the 1LE sways on my 2011 LS and it has made a huge improvement to the handling and feel of the car even with everything else in stock form.

The 1LE struts are very good and will be a solid upgrade for your LS. If you can tell me what you want your LS to do better for you, how you drive your LS I can offer additional advice. You should read through these links as well.

Did you have to upgrade your brakes? I've been hearing that they don't fit the v6 brakes.

I upgraded my brakes at the same time I did the suspension. You are supposed to-reason being is the sway bar will rub on the banjo bolt of the V6 brakes.


Now, the 1LE suspension with a squared wheel setup on my car has been absolutely wonderful. Had my first track day and I could not for the life of me get the car upset, no matter how hard i drove it. Very predictable and went right where I pointed it each time. I couldnt imagine it being any better!

1LE Suspension

I have 1LE struts and shocks with H&R SS springs on my 2014 1LT. I also added LSR front and rear sway bars (purchased from a C5 member). Lowered the way I wanted and the handling is awesome. Really, really a lot of fun.
