Upper/lower control arm bushings on ZL1 1LE compared to ZL1/SS 1LE
Other than the obvious of DSSV shocks, spring rates, sway bars, and the solid rear-end, are there differences in the suspension of the ZL1 1LE compared to the ZL1 and SS1LE for bushings in the upper/lower control arms?

Bushings? The ZL1 1LE IRS doesn't have rubber bushings like the rest of the Camaros. Either solid mount or billet aluminum replaces your rubber bushings.

It has bushing in the arms. The rear cradle is solid , but it still has bushings elsewhere.

This thread covers the part numbers, FE4/FEA share a lot of parts. The OP bought the zl1 1le handling kit (mentioned below) but sold it because of all the similar parts.
https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=522102 From Chevrolet Performance "THE LINK YOU’RE MISSING The perfect pair to the ZL1 1LE Spec Multimatic Lowering and Handling Suspension Upgrade System (P/N 84352121), this competition use† only, track-tested ZL1 1LE Spec Handling Component Suspension Upgrade System provides racers with front ride links, front handling links, rear upper and lower trailing links, and rear knuckles complete with stiffer bushings and ball joints to reduce suspension flex. The 71% stiffer upper and lower trailing links (compared to the Camaro SS), 58% stiffer rear link inner bushings, and an additional 4% reduction in roll gradient (combined with the ZL1 1LE Spec Multimatic Lowering and Handling Suspension Upgrade System), result in improved on-track performance lap after lap. For competition use only†." |

If I need to go further, I will go with the BMR rear upper control and trailing arms.

So has anyone fitted this ZL1 1LE Spec Multimatic Lowering and Handling kit on their SS 1LE yet? If so, what were the results and will it actually fit with our mag ride? I'm assuming this will alter the geometry for a higher roll center when lowering (compared to stock SS parts) as well since the ZL1 1LE can be lowered. I'm considering this along with either BMR springs or KW V3 coilovers and a camber plate for an autocross alignment setup.

As for if anyone's done it yet, one user here has done it here on a ZL1 which is essentially the same suspension as the SS 1LE. The kit doesn't alter geometry with the exception of having adjustable front strut top mounts for more negative camber and slightly different caster. All of the body-side points and lower ball joint remain in the same location as they do on the SS 1LE. Lowering is just resting at a slightly more "jounced" position compared to stock.
