1LE v6 suspension upgrade package?

Hey I'm looking to find a 1LE suspension package. Is there a package available for the b6? Or would aftermarket parts be a better option?

You can buy my ZL1 1LE suspension handling kit I have for sale.

Pair that with the ball-jointed rear toe links the SS and above use and you'll have a much tighter handling machine with no loss of ride quality.

As a rule, aftermarket suspension parts often mess up the bushing designs using polyurethane, which have unpredictable stiction, and/or poor weather-proofing design, like exposed spherical bearings that will rust and seize quickly. The OEM parts are very well designed in this regard.

How is that going to work without new dampers and springs to go with?

You can run your existing dampers and springs, or choose something else (e.g. the GMPP lowering kit spring/damper combo). The links and bushings take the slop out of the FE2 soft rubber setup.

It definitely depends on your end-goal, but the FE4 and FEA hardware really tie down the chassis compared to FE3 and FE2 setups.
