Here's my calculations comparing the base SS, SS 1LE, and base SS with GM lowering kit. Note the spring and tire height differences.
Based on my calculations, the SS 1LE springs alone are lower than the base SS springs by the following:
Front: 0.336" lower
Rear: 0.579" lower
Overall ride height on SS 1LE (considering both wheel/tire combo and springs) is lower than base SS by the following:
Front: 0.828" lower
Rear: 0.766" lower
Therefor on base SS, the GM lowering kit combined with SS 1LE wheel tire package would sit:
Front: 0.44" lower than SS 1LE
Front: 1.27" lower than base SS
Rear: 0.20" lower than SS 1LE
Rear: 0.96" lower than base SS
*********************************
Numbers that went into calcs above:
SS 1LE:
Front wheel diameter: 26.73"
Front ground to top of arch: 27.875"
Rear wheel diameter: 27.20
Rear ground to top of arch: 28.0625"
Base SS:
Front wheel diameter: 27.72"
Front ground to top of arch: 28.70"
Rear wheel diameter: 27.58
Rear ground to top of arch: 28.83"
