Yes, 1LE springs are most definitely different than a stock 1SS/2SS as I said in the original post.

Eibach lists the spring rates for stock 1ss/2ss and their own springs on their website, so does Phastek... However I don't have not been able to find the stock 1LE spring rates... Has anyone else?

Not yet. Dropping off my 1LE springs this week at a racing shop locally to have them tested. Will post results.

Since the kit requires a reflash of the shock software, I'm expecting it to be a decent increase in rate.

Oh awesome!

Thanks dude - Shoot me a PM when you get the info if you don't mind

I don't understand this to an extent. The point of the 1LE is the package.

But it's just a car, so party on.

Will do!

Hopefully the snow tomorrow isn't too bad so I can get out to the shop!

Humm, hard to tell in your pic, as it's dark and far away, but it seems like the back dropped a little, but the front didn't...looks like your gap is more in the front?

Odd thing is your car sat higher than mine stock, my car seems to sit just as low as your car does with the lowering springs, just with even gaps front and back (I checked, I'm two tight fingers between the tire and fender on all four corners).

Let the springs settle in. Then do a before and after pic. I have to assume there will be a difference in ride height. Just needs to settle

Springs "settle" very quickly...some really don't at all, the whole spring settling thing really is kinda an old wive's tale with modern spring technology. My last three spring installs - two didn't budge, one did maybe 1/8". Most of the settling is the suspension from being lifted off the ground, and a few decent miles of driving should take care of that...

I'll admit my house and therefore garage is on an ever-so-slight incline so the car might sit *slightly* tilted to the rear... maybe 1-2 degrees in a grade.

That being said I feel like my car might've sat a little higher than other 1LEs - maybe because it was an early model (got it in November, first in the PNW that I'm aware of)?

In any case... I'm unsure what I'd like to do - If Phastek gets back to me on the spring rates of their springs, I might try them

Nothing to do with build date, mine was built in November too...so who knows. May have something to do with the MRC holding it back, as the SS 1LE calibrations are different then the SS, and I can 100% guarantee you Eibach didn't test these on an SS 1LE.

They were released long before the 1LE was even announced as far as I know - So you're right.

I'm hoping @F1FTY gets his info on spring rate tests for the 1LE springs soon. Will take those rates and then research some other spring rates and decide what I'd like to do.

Have a PM into @Ricardo@Phastek as well for Phastek's spring rates

Will probably make a call in the next week or so - However the car is fine to drive and comfy on the broken pavement til then

*edit* after some quick math... Eibach is about 20% stiffer than OEM, Phastek lists their springs at "20-25% stiffer than OEM" - Which is likely to say that, they likely would "ride" the same, but might lower more.

I hope you guys aren't tracking your cars ... because they will not handle as well as stock since these are lowering springs for the softer SS suspension and are no longer matched to your 1LE shocks....
