I installed the Z/28 suspension on my 2013 1LE. Love the set-up with my Eaton Trutrac and 19x11, 19x11.5 w/305s....Its a complete package!

was your suspension modded before the install? Would be interesting to hear what it's like going from 2010 suspension to the Z/28.

Bone stock. The DSSV dampers in a ready-to-race package was what drew me in. I should have my first local SCCA event this year here late this month so I'll review it then.

I'm hoping it'll be a gamechanger for this car, can't wait to get the parts on! I'll be running it on a 275 slick, we'll see how it does in ESP :happy0180:

Very nice! I'm trying to figure out my next move for suspension, added sway bars but want more.

How does the Z-28 Package effect the day to day driving characteristics?
Thinking of getting the Package for my 14 SS.

It rides like a stiff sprung track car. It is not harsh, but it is stiff and you can tell. If you are going to track the car it may be worth it. But I wouldn't get it if this is your daily driver that doesn't get any track time.

Thanks! I am planning to hit a few SCCA local events. The SS is a weekend Warrior and is not driven daily. Just looking for a great handling package!

In that case, I would match the suspension package with a new wheel and very good tire so you can reach max potential of the suspension. Enjoy

I just read your sig. :) You should be just fine with the DW.

Front:

Strut/Spring Assembly - 22
Lower Control Arm - 11
Handling Link - 5
Swaybar w/Endlinks/Bushes - 18

Rear:

Damper/Spring Assembly - 14
Lower Control Arm - 6
Toe Link - 3
Trailing Arm - 2
Upper Control Arm w/Bushes - 17
Swaybar w/Endlinks/Bushes - 19

Just got it in the garage, should have the front done tonight.
