SS 1LE - upgraded bushings and sway bars?
Pretty sure I have read this, but do we have any confirmation that it gets higher durometer bushings and larger sway bars?

Verbal confirmation from GM engineer at 50th event that Sway bars are thicker.
Didn't think to ask about bushings.

could the newly announced handling package be the sway bars from the 1LE? They say its taken from the ZL1 but it could be the same ones used in the 1LE

We need to get some measurements on all these swaybar diameters.
I know the SS are just over an inch - about 26mm F&R.

The Motor Trend article specifically mentions the 1LE swaybars are larger than stock SS.

Yup, but the stabilizer bar upgrade was pretty much a given, the bushings were kinda up in the air...

that's great news.. this is my first post btw I have been tracking my cars and considering to get a 1LE next year ..it's good to know that bushing replacement is not necessary, friend of mine who had a Gen 5 1LE mentioned that he had to replace some bushings in the rear due to travel/flex
