A lot of Gen 5 ZL1s have gone lower and the only comment I have heard is that it might feel a little stiffer. As far as I'm concerned this is good, if you just lost an inch of suspension travel you want what is left to be stiffer.

Ultimately this is why a knuckle drop is better, you don't lose spring travel. But knuckle drops are pretty new to the gen 5 car... haven't heard a whisper about this on a 6th gen Camaro.

I suspect the lowering spring will be fine on a '16 magride car. I'm subscribed for results.
