i can't post a link, but if you look at the Camaro FE3 Suspension Packages on my website there is a Camaro 1LE Track Pack - For FE3/FE4 Cars that includes everything except the rear control arms (that are also on the site in another place and the part number is listed in the package)

 i assume thats what youre aiming at too? I didn't know there was an "FE6?" i did the fe4 conversion from fe3 which is 2012+ SS in BMR parts which, handling wise, is just stiffer sways, struts and the rear sway sits outside the struts which require a bracket or the newer control arms i think. that longer rear sway in itself is a huge upgrade. @Rob fixed your link for you https://www.wretched.co/camaro/ss/su...amaro-packages

FE6 is the Z28 suspension I believe. FE5 is 1LE, FE4 is the upgraded rear sway/ endlinks and control arms in the 2012+. Are you looking to do FE4 or FE6?

You can order the Pfadt ZL-Spec kit.
It comes with everything you need: Front + Rear sway bars, 2012+ control arms, end links. Some vendors still have this in stock. It makes a HUGE difference in handling that can be immediately felt and enjoyed.

I was told the FE6 is 2015 for ss 1le, I just want to upgrade to the best parts since I have a 2010.
What parts are different on my 2010 vs the 2015 SS 1le, I know the sway bars are.. and I kinda know in the back there is a piece that you replace on each side for the newer endlinks? What about front is there any difference in my 2010 ss vs 2015 1le? Can some one list the name and part number to switch over to 2015? thanks

Question 1 is this correct?
So by looking at that the lower rear control arms, the rear sway bar and endlinks, and as for the front, the sway bar would just have a larger hole and the end links would be thicker and use be 12mm instead of 10mm? question 2.. If I had the rear sway bar from a 2015 1le and end links and the rear lower control arms would it be worth upgrading later to BMR or Detroit?

The BMR sway bars are good, but the DSE bars are a stiffer setup and so far the most well balanced setup we've tried to date. Best regards, Tyler 888-308-6007 |

Well Im buying a complete 1le rear piece, I really just wanted the differential but it comes with well you can see (shocks, swaybar, rear end, axles, endlinks, pretty much everything)..
the best price I found on the 1le diff was 1362.00 plus 65.00 for ship I can get the whole setup for 1400.00 plus ship..  So I didn't know if I should get differential and bmr or Detroit parts or get this whole asm..

The factory lower control arms are actually pretty decent, it's the trailing arms and toe links that are prone to deflection. Best regards, Tyler 888-308-6007 |
