thanks. Do you think those springs and shocks would be a good upgrade for primarily street? Where can I get them?

Not sure what is even available any more. I would get some advice from Sam Strano on here (or you can call him). He can set you up with something to meet your goals and you would probably be much happier.

There are 3 different versions of "1LE" for the 4th gen. Each has different spring, bar, and shock combinations. But, the internet being what it is that information is largely not known or just ignored.....

The better question is what you are wanting to do different with the car. 1LE is not the end all by any means. My car is a standard Z28 that I bought to autocross against 1LE's which are also legal. I've driven both. I prefer a Z28 with some changes over a 1LE personally (I even ordered my car) for F-Stock autox where you can only change the shocks and the front bar. Once you get away from those rules than having any 1LE parts is really not necessary, the only "1LE" thing I actually use are the rear control arm bushings which we get from Moog.
