The regular ZL1 that I bought comes with the FE4 but with different front spring rates due to the extra engine weight over the regular SS.


The ZL1 1LE comes with the DSSV dampers, replacing the mag-ride, solid aluminum bushings, different swaybar out back and that suspension is called the FEA.


If you want to go deeper indepth, the rear knuckles change between the FE3 and FE4/FEA too.

So my ZL1 is 100% FE4 but with modified front spring rates.
Thanks for the clarification.

I almost think mag ride is the way to go for a street car. Kinda the best of both worlds race/street.
