1LE Results....

Just replaced my shocks, springs, and the sway bars along with the bushings and all. The springs and the sway bars are the 1LE ones. The shocks are KYB Gas-a-Just s. So far so good. The car handles much much better, the front end feels tighter, and the ride hasn't suffered too much. The only thing is that the springs RAISED the car about half an inch so the car looks a little weird now. Just thought that I would share the results with you guys, in case anyone is wondering about the 1LE stuff.

My dad works at a Chevy dealership, so that is where I got them from.

they don't call them the 1LE springs anymore, they sell them under a different part number. they are the same springs though from what I understand.

Maybe your old suspension was worn in so badly that it was sagging. So instead of it staying the same height, or lowering ( Im not that edjucated on 1LE stuff so should it have dropped it ? Or should it remian stock height ? ) it actually was higher then the old worn out suspension you removed.
