There are updated springs from GM? Like what in a service bulletin?

Yes, It's a bulletin, but technically not a service bulletin. It isn't widely known and only for 2017 ZL1's. But if your car was built before 3/12/17 (I think), there are updated front springs that will lower the front a little. If you haven't noticed, many of the early 2017 cars sit higher in the front than the rear. Mine was affected and I had the updated springs installed. It definitely made a difference.

Stephen could you take some wheel well measurements please? From the looks of your car I think I may order a set of Eibach's!

I will do it tomorrow in my level garage floor on the 295/30-20 track tires.

My stock 2018 is 27.5” front and 27 7/8” rear...

Stephen12ZL1 · 03-12-2018, 07:02 PM

the whole measurement thing tough to replicate due to air pressure and inclination of the tape, etc. My recent pics were terrible but as it sits in the above pic, it is a hair above 27” in the front and maybe 27 1/2” or a tick under that in the rear.

I run the Phastec

c6vette · 03-20-2018, 07:18 PM

Ok so two days ago I put the Eibachs on my car...Wasn't difficult really. The front is noticeably lower but the rear is only about 1/4 inch lower. I have only driven maybe 10-15 miles on them so far and I am hoping they will settle in some. Anybody else running them did you encounter this or was the rear much lower from the get go?

The front fender is almost exactly at 27" and the rear is just a hair under 28 currently.
