If you're going to be doing the 1LE / ZL1 Suspension Conversion, you're going to need the new Lower Control Arms as well. Another thing though is that a few people have mentioned that if you do the conversion with OEM 1LE / ZL1 bars, they will come in contact and rub with the v6 brakes. Some say it rubbed for them and some say it didn't for them so I guess it can go either way. I personally bought the Pedders Conversion so I'll be installing that soon.
Another thing, if you decide to go with Brembos or bigger brakes, make sure you get wheels that will clear the brakes. I know for a fact that OEM 18" and 19" wheels won't clear the brembos. There are definitely aftermarket options that will clear the brembos so just make sure to do your homework.
If you want a cheap alternative to getting lightweight wheels, you can buy a set of the 2010-2012 1LT wheels. Those weight 21 lbs. per wheel (I'm about 99% sure on that number) and will be a huge difference from the LS steelies. I personally did that and the car feels like it accelerates and brakes a lot faster because of the reduced weight of the wheels. The 2013 1LT wheels may weigh close to the 2010-2012 wheels but I haven't seen any weight figures on those so I can't tell you for sure.
