The 1LE doesn't come in a vert, so that is why it wont ask you, as you are buying a part for a coupe only. You will need new bushings as the bar is a different diameter. I dont know if the bracket is the same or different. Maybe PM Justice Pete for that answer.

Check the rear LCA part numbers for both, if they're the same then all you need to order is the bar. The bar should come with bushings and mounts. It should say if the mounts/bushings are included.

This is waaaaay to confused.

When GM introduced the ZL1 with the out board mounting bar ALL the lower control arms have been made the same way. It is the same LCA on a V6 or a Z/28. The arms accept the old style short bar and the newer style long bar.

A factory sway bar comes with brackets and bushings attached to it.

Does anyone know what year(s) SS springs will fit a 2015 V6 (FE2) ?

Are there any modifications needed or additional parts?

Will this be an improvement in handling? What will be the effect with my current suspension upgrades?

To get improved V6 handling find yourself 1LE takeoff struts and springs. The struts are clearly better. The springs are SS springs.

Reason I'm asking is because a member here is making me a very fair deal on a pair of SS springs with under 20k on them and I'm goin to my fathers shop next week in Rochester, NY. I will have him help me throw them on if its worth it...

Opinions? Will this impact my JPSS alignment?

sspade · 07-06-2017, 03:27 PM

I do plan on getting 1LE struts/springs eventually just cant be spending that type of money at the moment.

I'm going to say you will definitely need a new alignment. Anytime you remove or loosen your struts your alignment goes away.
There may be ways to mark the position of the strut before loosening things up but that doesn't mean it'll go back on the same. It may get you close, if that's good enough for you.

Great info. Thanks.

Hello. Just bought some ZL1 rear suspension parts from a fellow member.

Still waiting for them to arrive. Can someone please confirm the part numbers that I should be receiving. I'm assuming none of these components are the same as what is on my 2015 V6 Camaro currently and should be and "upgrade."

What are the following part numbers that I'm looking for when these arrive?

Trailing Arms
Toe Rods
Upper Control Arm Bushings
