I was wanting to go to a salvage yard to find these suspension pcs. Is there any certain cars that have this?
Thanks Brent

Yes, the ones that have 1LE listed on the RPO door sticker.

1LE wasn't the same for all years to begin with. Finding one in a junkyard will be highly unlikely. And frankly, 1LE isn't all that. It was nice in that fact that you got better shocks (not always Koni's) for a pretty good price on a new car.

But you have options, and better ones available depending on the use of the car.

the 1le option is extremely nice esp when slp took over... ls1 with 1le ALWAYS gets konis.... also when slp took over you were getting 35/21 bar combo and stiffer bushings all around and DA konis.... rear springs were 130-180 just like after-market white springs, the fronts are abit softer then the after-market springs 360 vs about 500 but for 98% for the guys on this board it will work fine.... so on a factory installed package with no labor costs and can be fully warenteed...its hard to beat

The springs are and have been my only real bitch with the 1LE package. The rears are too stiff relative to the fronts (and in general IMHO). Warrant is a moot point since it's been 5 years since production stopped and don't imagine many cars would be covered under any warrant now, or if so, for much longer. Also from SLP, it only came on SS's, not on Z28's like it did from GM. It's arguable whether the SS pacakge price was worth it.

On the whole, I do believe the SLP version was the best of the 3 4th gen iterations of 1LE. 93-95, 96-99, SLP in 01-02. But that doesn't mean it's ideal. Actually from an autocrossing standpoint looking at competitiveness. Many more non-1LE's won championships than 1LE's. I've driven both, a lot.... and I ordered a non-1LE.
