-GM lowering kit (stiffer springs and matching shocks) -FE4 anti sway bars from a 1LE -1LE tires/wheels But the modded SS was still 2 seconds a lap slower around their track than the 1LE was. Doubting in this case that the slight gearing advantage of the A10 would make up that much time on that track. |

So you are assuming that the 1LE springs with MRC would be 2 seconds faster than the lowering kit springs that have matched shocks with them? Remember both are using the same anti sway bars. I'm very skeptical this is true, but you can believe it if you want to.

mrc gets reprogrammed with the 1LE settings. Physically the shocks are the same part number between ss mrc and 1le.
It’s really going to come down to the elsd. From what I read the 6 piston brakes don’t add performance until you cook the 4 piston units. If you are cooking them just add the 6pistons too, they’re a option |

A 50 millisecond shift time does buy you a little more of a distance gap. Not much lap time improvement over a 100ms shift time, though.
Disclaimer: keep in mind that this plot is just for illustration purposes. Any "exact" numbers would be more in line with about a 14-second ET. Norm

Yes, if you have a 2017 or newer SS with MRC, then you can buy the 1LE suspension kit and GM will reprogram your MRC for the new springs. The lowering kit accomplishes this by including shocks that are valved for the new springs for non-MRC cars. My point is, both methods are probably very close to each other, because both are lower/stiffer springs and changing of the damping to go with it.

Well since I don't have a 1LE, I could not take it for a drive eh? Plus what does that have to do with GM "lowering springs" for the SS? Obviously, the DSSV and the 1LE suspension setups are sold as racing options. Obviously lowering springs are sold primarily for the performance "look"
