Hi 1LE owners. Can anyone check to see if the 1LE strut mounts are any different from the other SS strut mounts. Or can you PM me the last 8 # of your vin to check with the dealership for myself.

Well aren't too confident in coilovers unless having a custom set made so I bought some 1LE struts F and rear shock hats today and be advised from 06/2012 the strut mounts had a revision and the 1LE at the autoshow a few weeks ago had a stiff is heck setup that made my coilovers look like a waste. It's amazing when stock is good enough. The parts # for the shocks and struts are actually different from what we see here be advised. Will update later.

They're different I posted the pics in the suspension thread in here. More surface area and a thicker steel sleeve, don't remember exactly how much without finding the thread. It was 4-6mm thicker I think.

Oh the fronts I don't know. I was probably going with camber plates eventually anyways. Even with -1.2 camber its the outside of my tires that are wearing very fast due to track days. I'd prefer to not run -2 or more when just driving around but I need to even out my tire wear and improve contact patch.

When you get camper plates have the installer mark a position on both left and right plate for street and track. so you can move them carefully for each purpose.
