Your 'zero' statement here is not true, was not talking about a race car. I said that the 'lowering kit' which has shorter and stiffer springs with matched shocks, is not likely 2 seconds slower than the 1LE springs, which are shorter and stiffer than an FE3 as well, with it's accompanying recal. Since the modded SS was still 2 sec slower than a real 1LE, then the stuff that a 1LE has that cannot be added to an SS seems to have some value.
