Possible to install 2013-15 bc coil overs on 2011 v6

[IBM camaro 2]

Hello I have a 2011 camaro v6 with brembo brakes upgraded. Is it possible to install 2013-15 bc coilovers on my current stock suspension? The reason I ask is because I found a used set and I can’t find a used 2011-12 set. I’ve seen lots of posts about updating the 2011-12 suspension to more current years. Would I need to do that as well or does anyone know if it can bolt up? Thanks if so what parts normally need to be swapped to run the newer suspension? Here’s a pic of my car

You might have to change the end links for the sway bar since GM went to a bigger stud.
I’m running 2013 1LE strut in my 2010 SS so it shouldn’t Nobel a problem.

Thank you I’m also considering going the 1LE route. I’m just confused when I was looking at prices for struts I know the 1LE front strut part number (left) is 22903660. Im just confused as to why some are priced at 100ish and then some are 400 plus am I missing something?

Here’s what I found fjr the 1LE front strut but I’m thinking no way it could be priced this low

The 400+ strut is probably a ZL1 strut with mag ride. An the price is about right I paid 125 from Rock Auto for mine.

The suspension from 10-15 is the same. I have a 2010, and are all 2015 1LE, front and
rear, except the rear sway-bar. I put the 1LE struts on a few months ago. Till
then, I drilled out the end-link hole in the strut for the 1LE end-link. I already had
the front sway-bar on. There is nothing between the years that won't fit each
other, EVEN the MAG-ride. You can put MAG-ride on, it just will be stock. You can
run wires and dial in the ride with a rheostat, for complete manual control of the
stiffness of the MAG-ride shocks and sruts.

The LCAs were updated for the rod end links for the updated sway-bar, but
it only fits if you have Brembo rear calipers. STOCK V6 brakes, you still get the
regular sway bar with the dog-bone end-links. The new LCAs have both options
for mounting.

I just bought a complete rear cradle from a 2015 SS for $449, with everything
except the Brembo calipers. So, I have to put my sway-bar on it. Then I will
have TWO of those updated sway-bars sitting around, with end links. I need
the rear portion of an SS or any manual drive-shaft to complete the project.
42k miles on the cradle, and my 2010 has 234,200 on it now. I will have lots
of V6 rear end parts to sell once it's on. I need the 3.27 LSD for winter, and
this was a great find!

Thank you so so much for taking the time to explain all of that I feel much better with the information at hand now I can make a good informed choice on my suspension. I think it’s great you got that rear cradle what a lucky find. DM me if you need front Brembos pads rotors lines. I just did my rear and bought a set but I already had the front 4 piston so ended up with an extra set I’ll let them go at a great price. Again thanks for the info.
