No clue if mine has spacers or not. I would assume you can "tell" when driving.

My spacer story is a little different.

The dealer I bought my ZL1 from removed the spacers per the PDI and then promptly threw them in the trash instead of putting them in the car.

It took more than three months to order me a new pair because the dealer couldn't find a part number. Thanks to this forum, I was able to give them the part number.

When the replacement spacers finally came in, the dealer tried to charge me for them. Obviously, I refused to pay for the replacement spacers since it was their screw-up. They finally realized their error, but not until I had a discussion with the parts manager.

When I bought my used very low mileage 2017 back in 2019 one of the spacers was under the passenger seat and never found the other one. I remember showing the salesman and asking what is was and he didn’t have a clue. This forum helped with the information and part number which I ordered the part from a local GM parts guy that been knowing for years. I did pay for the one spacer though and put them in the trunk.

Yeah, they're supposed to give them to you after they remove them. On my car, I looked for them in the trunk and in the glove box and didn't find them, so I looked at the front springs to see if they had even removed them. There they were.

Just lean over and look inside the front wheel well above the tire. You'll see the coil spring and you'll see them if they're there.

With the spring spacers installed, the car will ride harshly and the front end will sit higher than it's supposed to.

Factory installed sticker on driver's window that shows removal of spacers to be performed by dealership as part of the PDI.


Some dealer techs are clueless.

Wow, clueless is right. I was wondering what that tape line remnant I saw on my window was from. Even with that notice posted they left the spacers on.

Judging by the bottom imagine in the graphic in the quite literally un-missable window sticker, if the dealer *did* somehow leave them in, would that make it the Camaro version of the "Carolina Squat"?

No. Because it's actually barely noticeable from a distance on the side that it's installed.

Oh, I figured as much. Just added a little sarcasm over the possibility that someone doing PDI could miss the yellow-banded sticker on the window...
