Hi everyone, I recently purchased a Hugger orange 1LE with 24,000 miles and a broken piston ! The car had been used in autocross, and the previous owner was moving on to new things. Well the car came with a lot of spares and I would like to return it to somewhat original condition, so I'd like a little help in determining exactly what was original. What I do know:
-non leather wrapped steering wheel
-manual drivers seat, windows, hatch release
-this car had ac
-DA Konis

my first few questions:
-rear sway bar, 19mm or 21 mm ? I've seen contradiction on this, though I read Strano stating the 21mm was '93 only
-which shifter, stock or Hurst derivitive ?
-front coil spring wire diameter ? rear as well

Also I heard from the previous owner that there was a pic on here of a functional tool to remove a ground control kit fron the front struts !

Thanks, and I'm looking forward to the responses !

Mike

So the wheels are the standard 16x8 Z/28 style ? Rather than the ZR-1 SS style for the 1 LE ?

For those interested, here are the 1 LE spring dimensions (found on Z28.com)

GM 1LE springs are black.

P/N Wire Diameter Number of Coils Outside Dia. Free Length

(Stock) 22077195 .570" 9 4.59" 15.5"

(NOS) 22197228 .565" 9 4.56" 15.5"

(NOS) 22077196 .570" 10 4.58" 15.5"

(1LE) 22132561 .580" 9 4.52" 13.75"

To identify the rear 1LE springs look for a plastic spacer on a tightly wound spring coil near the top. This coil must be the progressive part of the 130-170 lb/in. It has the partnumber 22132889 it is also a good discontinued 1LE number.

To identify the 1LE front spring. Look for a spring that is shorter than stock by 1.75" and has .580 wire. I have not had my hands on the 22132887 1LE spring so I can't give you a way to identify it, but it should be similar to the 22132561.
