Yes, no need to change everything but the more you put Z/28 parts on the more you benefit.
EX: To really benefit from the DSSV you should throw on Z/28 rims and tires or something similar.

That's a good question for Dropspeed, he's gone thru a lot of z28 parts. If I remember correctly, there is a point where it becomes too much and you start losing performance

I have the Z28 struts, springs, and bars with 19"s and RE71R's. Works well for autocross. Be prepared for a pounding on bad roads. I have no problem with it, but I just use it as a weekend warrior. You'll notice much less brake dive and acceleration squat.

Just throw a Z28 over your 1LE... good to go.

The DSSV struts require the use of Z/28 coils. They are a very good.

For half the cost you can go to Bilstein B6 monotubes and DSE lowering coils and get 90% of the benefits of the Z/28 setup.
