http://garagestar.com/blog/product/g...door-bushings/ Mostly pulling in and out of driveways on angles, less cowl shake, really surprised with how much they helped. This was on a convertible though, not sure how much they really help if you have a real roofline that's part of the cars' body.

I'm not shocked that they helped on a convertible, though I'm surprised they made that noticeable of a difference. I'd expect them to make some measurable difference on any "normal" car too (not a supercar with carbon tub, whatever) but I'd be surprised if most people could tell a difference.

Interesting findings. I wonder if I'll see any changes on the Camaro. Here they are installed:

I've read that the difference between the SS (FE3) mag ride and the 1LE (FE4) mag ride is that the FE3 on Track mode feels like the FE4 on Touring mode. Kind of funny since I have the SS defaulted to Track mode in my driver settings.  http://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=485104

Ok, that ZL1 1LE that just debuted is absolutely ridiculous.
I want one.

1LE suspension kit and trailing arm set arrived today. The box was huge and most of the weight has to be the one solid swaybar haha.
The splash guards also arrived along with a hand riveter so I can install the fronts. Now to find a reputable service center at a local dealer to do the install and reflash the shocks.   That's everything mechanical the 1LE comes with over the SS (minus the eLSD w/ PTM, 6 piston brakes, short shifter, wheels and tires). At least for now...I'm expecting bushings or little stuff to be found out later Splash guards pre-painted:

Also placed a pre-order on the GM cold air intake and tune that's scheduled to come out end of Q1.
All parts ordered are covered by GM warranty, even on the track.

Haha not yet. Still on winters. Kind of want to wait until I get the front brake set too. Do it all at one time. Really just waiting to save up for the front brake kit and for the pre-ordered parts to get sent out. Also, I plan on having the calipers powdercoated to match the Fifty orange and lettering to keep the factory look (just with larger brakes) Will run on factory wheels and tires this summer to burn through the runflats. Get the 1LE or some lightweight wheels with summer tires next year or sooner. Sell my 18's and run all seasons on the factory wheels next winter (needed for brake caliper clearance). End goal is a Camaro GT3. 550hp n/a track ready car build without the roll cage or daily driver downsides.

Now I gotta wait for a little bit. Finding a local powdercoat place is going to be fun too. Plus, I've been spending a lot of time on the BMW to repair and replace worn parts. (Air filter, cabin filter, spark plugs, coil packs, accessory belt, idler pulley, tensioner pulley, kidney grilles, idrive controller trim ring, hvac panel faceplate, ignition button, drivers side cupholder, navigation software, rear tail light). Oil, trans, dif fluid, water pump and thermostat all next.

Quick 1LE swaybar math:
Front hollow bar: 31.3mm Rear solid bar: 28.2 mm Using an online calculator I measured the rear bar effective rate at 324.8 lbs/in Need wall thickness for front hollow bar to calculate that. Will be interesting to see what the factory SS bars are in comparison. Wish I could find spring rate information too.
