MCS TT2 are a bit on the track oriented side, but would be a good option if the damping is calibrated for the spring rates you want, if not they can change the valving. Probably in the $4k range.

Not sure what you mean by make it handle like shit. You do realize there are better suspension options other than the stock DSSV's right? Even a standard ZL1 with Magneride doesn't handle like shit. Why are you so offended by what the OP is wanting to do with HIS car? The tires on the 1LE are most responsible for its handling performance and people swap them all the time for Michelin Pilot Sport 4s tires.

Bought a 1LE and used it at the track for a year. Upgraded to a TA2 race car. Keeping it for the street and having it ride like shit doesn’t sound like a stellar plan either. My experience with the 5 different 6th gen Camaros I’ve owned tells me it will still handle just fine.

Meh, I've had the SS 1LE, regular ZL1, and the ZL1 1LE now. If you want it to ride better, throw some PS4S's on it.

The PS4’s have been my street tire since day 1 on both of my Z’s. I put them on those 1LE wheels you sold me almost 2 years ago. Looking for feedback on struts, shocks, coil over swaps.

Depends on what area you're talking "good" about. You do realize GM worked with Goodyeard and Multimatic for years to come up with the custom tuned DSSV's, right?

I put PS4S's on mine about a week ago, the difference in ride quality is pretty noticeable, as is traction at the limit, but that's why I have a spare set of OEM take-off's for track duty 👍

Your post telling me I should buy a standard ZL1 was #14, right after I said I already had one. Not sure about the most interesting man part of your comment.

You're quick. I deleted my post after deciding it wasn't worth it. You had apparently already quoted it and were working on a response.

You might consider the active coilovers from DSC sport in Md.

As noted before, get the Fortune 510's. Their coils include camber plates as well. Best part - it is under $3,000 for the entire set.

I know people that adore the ride quality on and off track. Built in the good ole USA in VA.

Those are really 😎. Pricey and need a controller to adjust but super cool. Thanks

I am with Checkmate1 and DaveC113.

I had Fortuna Auto coilovers on my Evo X back in the day and they rode better than stock. For the street and for the price, that is a great option.

If you are willing to spend a little more, then go with MCS 2-way or 3-way. You can get those setup to ride better than stock.

Though I am a fan of the DSC kit, is not worth it on the ZLE as you also have to buy the standalone controller. I am sure you would also have to figure out where/how to mount the suspension button inside the car.
