Any 6th Gen Suspension experts? Non Magnetic SS suspension in RS V6 Camaro?
Would like to know if a stock 6th gen SS Camaro suspension (non mag ride) will work in a V6 RS 6 Gen? I have a full set of new SS take offs and wanted input BEFORE I spend the time to install.

Will it change ride height or have any negative effect on handling in any way?

Would I have to add the SS sway bars (bushings etc.) or others mods to make it work?

Thanks in advance for any info or input.

Yes you can absolutely do that. The V6 1LE model literally uses the base SS suspension. In terms of other differences beyond the springs/shocks/sway bars, there is a rear control arm which has a ball joint and the sway bar end links are steel instead of plastic. You have FE2 suspension while the base SS/V6 1LE has FE3 suspension.

There's another active thread a few down which mentioned the rear toe link: http://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=524257

Also check out the part number megathread.

The V6 1LE runs different springs to account for the reduced weight. SS springs in a V6 will cause it to sit high.

I *think the V6 1LE springs are #'s 84186922 (x2 for the front), but I can't figure out the rear spring part number. Message scottb [sic?], he's an active forum member with a V6 1LE, he should be able to take a flashlight and read the part number tag on his rear springs.
