Don't forget the custom wound springs, lighter brake components, larger brakes, wider front track, solid bushings/ball joints in places, completely different front aero, new aluminum front steering knuckles

As for the PP2 changes…there are quite a bit.

“Working our way up, relative to the already stiffened Perf Pack springs, the Level 2 coils are 20 percent stiffer in front and 13 percent stiffer in the rear. Similarly, the anti-roll bars resist twist by an additional 12 percent in front and 67 percent in the rear. Oh, and between the lower-profile tires and suspension tweaks, the car hunkers down a half-inch closer to the road. Some of the midnight oil burning involved further tweaking of the Magneride shocks, electric steering assist, ABS, and stability control tuning. The aero work started off with a modified Boss 302 Laguna Seca front splitter that extends about 3 inches out from the front corners, developing 24 pounds of honest-ta-goodness front downforce at fast-sweeper speeds (80 mph).”

So essentially same changes made for the 1LE over the SS sans eLSD. So again why are we thinking it is anyway close to the number of changes on the GT350

Replied in red.

"According to Adam Wirth, suspension, wheel and tire supervisor at Ford Performance, 90 percent of the suspension has been altered in some way."

All you really need to look at is the weight differences in a GT350TP vs a GT PP1. That tells you plainly there are more changes than what you posted, all of which paid dividends on the GT350. So again, there are more differences in a GT PP2 to GT350 than a SS to 1LE in terms of handling.
