Camaro 1LE Upgrade Possibilities?

I hear the Camaro 1LE can be ordered with the ZL1’s larger brake package. True? If so how much is it?
Are there any possibilities of the 1LE getting the DSSV suspension?

Thanks

There really aren’t any reasons why the SS 1le brakes would need to be larger. Unless you’re a pro driver I can’t see anyone getting any use out of the larger Zl1 brakes.

I have purchased a used set of ZLE brakes and also the DSSV to install with my build. (I'm doing things in deliberate process to see what actually helps and what doesn't)

https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=594295

I bought these before I had a chance to haul ass in the car and quite honestly, the stock stuff is more capable than I even thought. I will add the brakes and DSSV at some point, but not before I add grip and different pads to try.

I thought the SS 1LE already had the same brakes and magnetic ride tuning as the ZL1? What's the difference?

Same 6 piston front calipers, but the rotors are smaller F and R, because the car weighs less. I’m not sure if the difference is in the caliper or mount, but all the other aspects like piston size are the same.
