3. SRF Brake Fluid
4. Cobalt Friction Pads XR1 up front and XR3 in the rear.
5. Front Brake Ducts
6. Five Point Harness and a Hoop with a Removable Cross Bar
These six steps transform the 1LE from a very good daily driver / HPDE car to a very good daily driver and very good track car. If you want to run at the front of the pack we do just a bit more.
7. Heads, Cam Headers, we want 500 RWHP, but no more than 650.
8. Supercars and a handful of rear bushings.
9. AccuSump for some engine protection.
10. Differential Upgrade / Swap. We go to the ZL1 differential because it is stronger in case and in function. It will put power down in the tuns, better than the 1LE. It also is designed for a cooler, but you'll plumb your to a rear mounted cooler (no extra weight up front). We want the 1LE gears so that means we swap between the two units. There is a bit more involved, but you get the idea.

JusticePete posted this back in October 2013. I am curious about number 8 on the list. "Supercars and a handful of rear bushings".
Does anyone have any idea what additional bushings in the rear besides the cradle/sub-frame bushings in the Permagrin Package, he is talking about?
I'm looking to upgrade my 1LE, but don't want to drop cash to replace bushings on my 1LE that are good from the factory.
Thanks for any input.
