I have several 1LEs and have drive time with the SLP setup. I found the SLP setup to be a very good daily driver. Handled very well but also still was not harsh. The 1LE especially if you'll take a little time to tune it is much better when you are looking for higher limits. I spend several days a month, today for one, driving a 1LE. If you don't mind a few bumps it's alot of fun. As an aside I always add welded FRCs to these things, to me it makes a big difference. For what it's worth thats my take
