Are you sure you are from Texas? I've never heard anyone from Texas refer to NVH as "unpleasantness." Also, why does your info say you have a 2023 ZL1?

You say stock, but the 1LE and Z28 suspension are stock for their respective cars. The 1LE runs the same springs as the SS. The difference with the shocks is that 1LE are monotube and Z28 are spool valve. What really makes the Z ride harsher is the 600 pound springs and reduces travel, but that is not relevant to this discussion. If you just wanted a soft pillowy ride, I don't think you would have purchased a Camaro in the first place. Changing suspension components definitely changes how a car rides, but most Camaro owners would see a move from the 2010 SS suspension to something like the later 1LE set up as a positive move.

FE3 refers to the original rear suspension used in 2010-11. FE4 is 2012 on and uses a different rear sway bar that is longer, thus having more leverage on the lower control arm (LCA). The 1LE cars use this with a 28mm solid rear bar and 27mm solid front bar. It's one of the biggest differences with the 1LE that makes it handle better. Converting to FE4 from FE3 requires that later LCAs, sway bar links, and sway bar. The factory FE4 LCAs work well and are only about $60 if they have not been discontinued. Links were under $20 a side. I run a 32mm rear bar from Pedders on the vert, but you decide what bars you want to run. Justice Pete recommended 5mm larger bars in the rear to reach neutral steering.
