Would a 1SS with BMR springs/sways/trailings arms + bushings/toe rods beat a 1LE?
The title says it all, but I'm wondering if the suspension components mentioned would match/beat a 1LE on a track? This is mainly aimed at those with experience with 1LE's and/or suspension-upgraded SS's. I know the gearing is different between the two models, I'm strictly talking handling here. Thanks!

No. Wheel/tire, monotubes, and upgraded rear sway setup would still spank you.

A few key bushings, FE4 spec sway bar conversion, and a wheel and tire upgrade will take care of the handling portion.

Yup, a lot is driver, I've spanked a few GTR's and boss 302's with nothing more than wheels springs and sways. I know that a good driver behind the wheel of either of those cars and I'd be way behind.... But I'm working on the car and my skills to try and hang!
