Finally got the 1LE track pack installed! My Street/Track review

[JusticePete]

I can and will later in the day. Right now I have to finish a project in the shop before the bus runs me over.

Pete,

I just climbed under my 1LE and my subframe bushings are not green. I can see a hard cream/white outer bushing with the rubber insert.

I believe that picture is the 1LE Track Pack kit available through Chevrolet Performance Parts.

Matt, only the adhesive is green and you'll only see traces of it on the front sub-frame bushings.

HMMM got me thinking here!

-Matt

Yep.

With the increased front grip by comparison the rear has less grip resulting in a bit more rotation

I don't mind rotation at all. I drove FWD cars tail out for years that would spin if you thought about lifting .

My concern is picking up the inside wheel on corner exit...I already have an issue on certain turns on corner exist (Grattan turn 7, right hander just before the carousel) with the inside wheel breaking loose and spinning until I lift. I know this can be fixed with a Trutrac or Torsen, but I don't want to exaggerate the issue.

On my 2013 SS I could just make out the part number on the front cradle bushing. It was the same as the part #20941932 I have seen listed on this site for the 1LE cradle bushings. Maybe this is not the 1LE part #. Anyone else with a '13 wants to check? It is stamped in the black rubber at the top of the bushing.

[Mattswla]

In the picture of the kit what are the smaller 2 rods In the middle? I bought a kit from a guy and he didn't include those. I need to figure out what they are and maybe a part number if anyone knows them. Also need part numbers for those green bushings, they were also not included.
