AFTER 2 weeks of settling, you will have the below numbers.

FRONT:: 27 3/4
REAR:: 28 1/8 with a FULL TANK.

Like this? Pic is deceiving, the REAR gap is a tad higher than the front now.

No I can see it mine measures 28 but front is higher than rear that looks a lot better.

Is your 28" before or after the spring install

Has anybody regretted doing the spring change? How is the ride compared to what you had?

I don't know that I would do the spring change again. While I like the improved stance, the updated springs do seem to make the ride slightly more harsh. Bumps in the road seem a bit more pronounced now. I find myself driving in tour mode more than I did prior to the swap out.

thanks for your feedback

IneedAZ · 10-19-2017, 12:08 PM

anybody else of the same opinion? Glad that you made the swap?

I have a 2018 ZL1 and its definitely lower than the 2017. There's still a gap that i can't stand. Anyone know if there are any springs out there than can drop the 2018 by another inch.

I love the look of the new springs but either my springs were improperly installed by the dealer or they have a defect because the suspension clicks and catches when turning. It happens when the car is moving or stationary. It is not the same noise as the wheel clicking when rolling.

That doesn't sound good

Its already been back to the dealer once and they acknowledged it wasn't right but said they couldn't figure out what was wrong. They gave it back to me and told me to put miles on it and see if it goes away. I put 800 miles on it and its still there so its going back in on Monday. They still have the old springs so they are going to put them back on and see if it still does it. I want the problem fixed but I really like how good it looks lower.

Springs will have nothing to do with a click. The sway bar end link or other simple thing is loose. A bushing could be in a bind if not torqued properly. Clicking could occur if the spring isn't clocked properly in the spring seat.
