SS suspension upgrade

If one wanted to upgrade a regular SS suspension, not so much to be on par with the 1Le but better than stock what would you suggest? Let's say a budget of around 1k?

You can get ZL1 sways for about $200 from wholesaler websites. Springs arent to bad either. Put them on yourself and your at about $400-500. Get some trailing arms and toe rods as well.

You will need an alignment after springs install

FE4 conversion, a good set of FE4 sway bars and some good springs will be a good start and will make a huge difference.

Feel free to call, PM or email me anytime with questions.

Best regards,

I agree with Tyler, a good FE4 conversion would be the way to go. You can use the factory FE4 LCA's or our newly revised TCA028's which will accommodate both FE4 or FE3 suspensions. But definitely start with sway bars either way!
