Question SLP Level One Suspension any good?

I was looking into getting the SLP level one suspension for my car but didn't know if it was any good. I do mostly street driving and a daily driver. Also I think it has some aftermarket LCA's installed but I don't know how to tell (they're red with grease fittings) also what exactly do LCA's do?? I get a loud clunk from the rear when going over bad areas of road?

Thanks for help and understanding of a newb

I have the level 1 suspension on my SS. If you go with it make sure you cut half a coil off the front springs otherwise the front will sit higher than the rear.
I like it and would do it again.

lol, I too had to cut a coil out of the front, cause it sat too high. I bought the boxed in set that they sell. If i could do it again, i'd buy other lower control arms with grease fittings. Plus now i need an adjustable panhard since you can't adjust the one in the kit, and it needs grease fittings too. The only thing i liked was the bilsteins and eibachs, but like i said, you have to modify them to look good.

Forget the SLP suspension! Get some performance parts. The 02 z28 suspension is fine. If you want the lower look of the level one, get different springs.

It's not a bad canned setup. It comes priced well, which makes it a decent choice for upgrading your car. It's not known as a drag friendly suspension, but it does ride nice and provide much better handling than stock. If you're not looking for serious track or autocross time, it's certainly a nice street setup and fun trips to the road track. I see it on group purchases quite often, so keep an eye out. And like it was mentioned before, cut half a coil on that front spring.

It is a nice step up over the stock suspension for not a lot of money.
