I asked this once already but never got a direct answer. What would be the difference in ride height if I switched to the 1LE springs. I would like to see some pics of people's rides if they have them. A little increase in the front ride height is expected since the V8 is heavier, but how much heavier is it. I was thinking of upgrading to all 1LE suspension components that I could.

0.25-0.5" max most likely.
It will be noticeable, but not much, since the spring height is the same, only its stiffer.
Why not buy stiffer but lower springs?2002 5-spd NBM Camaro

I don't really want a height drop since I have Gfx and the area I live in is not lowered car friendly. Even my driveway gets me sometimes when I am not careful...and I'm at stock height. I want to remain at stock height and still get a stiffer ride...since she feels pretty sloppy sometimes.<a href=\"http://www.onid.orst.edu/~waltejam/\" target=\"_blank\">98 Bright Red Camaro</a><br />Too many mods to list....check my websiteComment

I'm looking for the right combo of both canyon carvin and strip performance. I like the specs on the Mac? V8 springs of around 220lbs/in in the rear and 550 in the front....but they lower the car 1.5" and I just can see not scraping everywhere. So I think the 1LE springs will be my best bet as they are the only springs I have seen that will not lower my ride (besides coilovers).<a href=\"http://www.onid.orst.edu/~waltejam/\" target=\"_blank\">98 Bright Red Camaro</a><br />Too many mods to list....check my websiteComment

Why do you want stiffer springs then? You really don't need stiffer springs to corner carve, or even race, you only need shocks that are appropriate for what you intend to do!2002 5-spd NBM Camaro

Just right. You actually get better traction with soft springs, except for the minor effect of improved camber control at the front.2000 Firebird convert, chameleon/tan, M5, Y87, TCS, BMR tower brace and panhard, KBDD sfcs, 245/50-16 GSCsComment

I've got the 1LE shocks and springs. If anything, front stayed the same height. Rear almost went down some...doesnt have that a$$ up stance the stockers had. People are always asking me if my car is lowered now. Get them, they are great. But be prepared for a "tad" rougher ride! :D1979 Z28 Camaro, 1 of 10,000 Factory 4 speeds. <br />1994 Camaro Sport Coupe, M5<br />Best ET: 15.31@91.5 (25 hp NOS)Comment

</a> Big Note to Read (Note: Both kits will not work with stock springs.)
You may specify your spring rate or we will supply you ours when ordering CO-32S .
They will custom taylor spring rates. So yuo can achieve the stiffer ride and adjust the height to where you want it [img]smile.gif[/img]
