If there are differences, part number for both would be awesome.

Thanks.

It's not the DSSV coil overs that make the car harsh/stiff on regular roads.

It's the very firm springs coupled with the rest (DSSV, Solid Bushings, Stiff sidewall of GY3R) that make it less than idea for most public roads unless the roads are quite smooth.

That being said, I wouldn't have it any other way. I would rather own a heavy car with no slop like the ZLE.

Nobody should be driving on street on 3Rs unless it's on the way to track. Save them for track it's the only place they're useful and there they may be the best non-slick DOT track tire in the world.

Even for canyon driving 3Rs don't get warm enough to really perform, PS4S would have more grip.

I beg to differ, going from sport, or track mode to touring mode is a huge difference in softness of the ride, I notice it almost immediately.

I agree with this for safety reasons alone. IMHO, the Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperCar 3R tire has no business on the street except in an emergency. They're like hard sole shoes on an icy sidewalk.

No he is right, on the ZL1 1LE no ride difference in mode changes. I feel like the steering wheel might tighten up some but no ride change at all.

Yeah not to be a dick but you are completely wrong. There is no change with the DSSV shocks with the different modes.

ZL1 1LE does not have magne-whatever adjustable shocks. Feature available on SS 1LE and regular ZL1.


Get your facts straight.

You are posting in the ZL1 section bro.

I gotta say comments like these are very foreign to my own experience with the 3Rs. I was expecting the worst when I initially got the car.

Yes, don’t ride in the rain with them or in 40F degrees or less, but otherwise they’re pretty good and I feel they warm up reasonably well. Basically, just don’t mash the throttle coming right out of your driveway

Edit: I should mention the positive that once warm, they’re really nice in the twisty roads I’ve been riding on, over hear. Sticking like glue, as they say!

My factory lifted F-250s ride bounces more than my ZLE. However the ZLE has so much more control and it's predictable.

And how many of you have even driven big Diesel Pusher MH. That can be a rough ride. Sometimes it makes my ZLE seem like an S Class

I agree with your driveway caveat and that once you get them warmed up on dry warm surfaces they definitely stick to the road.

Sorry but I assumed that both 1le options came with magnetic ride control.

Compared to other online venues, this forum is very kind to those that ass-u-me and post without research, which is a bug that bites everyone at times, myself included

The DSSV dampers are such a headline feature of the ZL1 1LE that it's a very surprising assumption, that's why you got so many responses...
