SS/ZL1 Mod compatibility - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I'm upgrading from a 10 SS and I'm just trying to figure out what mods of mine will work on a ZL1. I know my intake and throttle body won't work, but I was hoping my exhaust and my eibach springs would be able to come over.

Also, I may be acquiring a second set of stock SS wheels as a winter setup, would that work? Not that I plan on daily driving this car in inclement weather, but as a worst case scenario. I'm pretty sure the hub dimensions are the same, just wanted to verify though

to 5th or 6th gen ZL1?

I had Eibach springs and sway bars on my 10 SS and though my suspension was tight, it also hit bumps and potholes super hard...recently trading up to a ZL1 the car handles great on stock setup and is much smoother on bumps and wouldn't put eibach springs on it.. Are you wanting to transfer the springs for handling or just for lowering the wheel gap?

I daily drive my ZL-1 even in the winter and I use SS wheels with all season tires from November through March.
