1LE bars are designed for a square tire setup. You have a staggered setup which is more like a ZL1. 1LE bars are solid 27mm front (like our 27mm adjustable front bar) and 28mm rear. The ZL1 has 25mm front and 28mm rear bars. The ZL1 front bar is smaller to compensate for the staggered setup. The 1LE has that big 27mm bar to retain more understeer. Understeer is slow. Oversteer is fast. Your staggered wheel and tire setup with 1LE bars will not perform as well as the 1LE or ZL1. The bars are not matched to the wheel and tire setup

This is a common mistake being made by many 5th Gen owners because they read about the 1LE and how well balanced and mannered the car is. Dump the 27mm 1LE front bar and get a 25mm ZL1 bar or order a Pedders 32mm rear bar to get better handling balance.
