ZLE DSSV A10 rear shock?
Just picked up a manual 22 ZLE and I've noticed the ride is a bit more compliant compared to my old '18 ZLE. I saw a few guys suggesting swapping out the rear DSSV shocks for the A10 DSSV shocks but I can't find a single post where someone has done it.
What is the difference between the manual and auto rear dssv shocks and how does it change the ride in the car? |

No difference between M6 / A10 Multimatic DSSV. Same suspension setup on all ZLE.

Interesting.. I have never heard of such a difference. Someone with a parts catalog could confirm whether there is any truth to it

I think you may be right -- and I'll admit that I'm wrong. I can't believe this has never come up before on the forum -- I've certainly never heard of there being a difference and I couldn't find anything searching. However, I did find this bulletin on the NHTSA website (of all places) that does state:

Very interesting. We all know the manual ZLE had a 7:16.04 Ring time. My curiosity has me wondering what the A10 ZLE would have done around the Ring with not only a different transmission but now rear dampers that are tuned different.

Not to start an argument but that document sure states many differences between a ZLE and a regular ZL1. I’ll state again when I drove them back to back prior to purchase the ZLE definitely felt so much more fun. More than just the tires.
Yah I now ZL1 owners hear making their car look like a ZLE will chirp that there’s no difference but each to their own opinions. Not saying a ZLE better just was more of what I was looking for when I test drove. And yes my car gets tracked.

Coming from you and your ZL1 made to look like a ZLE I’ll take that as a compliment. Long time since I’ve heard from you how’s things?

Now buyers will be able to make a more informed decision when deciding between a ZL1 or ZLE. There is nothing to argue about either...its just facts from GM. I also want to thank the OP for revealing the differences between the ZLE auto and 6 speed manual rear DSS....also something I have never seen discussed here.
