What's up guys? Question. I need to replace my front end struts. I was looking in to upgrading to the ZL1 struts, but they're pricey. Is it worth it or

. Price difference is 400 for 2 SS vs 1000 for 2 ZL1 struts lol

The ZL1 struts are made to play with ZL1 springs, so probably not a good idea by themselves.

ZL1s are MRC and computer controlled. The SS does not have the module to control them. Coilovers or 1LEs would be better...

Thanks for the clarification. I'm relatively new in the whole, conversion game. I was unaware they were computer controlled. As my front suspension is getting older, I plan on swapping them out, and would like to go the premium route. Ty sir.
