Please do. I just visited a 2nd dealer this morning and got mine ordered. The dealer closest to me gave me a super hard time about it. The service advisor was a complete douche. Told me this wasn't a recall and all ZL1's sit higher in front. Said they would have to get approval from Chevy once i gave him the bulletin number. That was complete bs. Horrible service.

Cool! Thanks for the info, sounds like our Verts have the later springs. Nice color, wanted one the same red, but the dealer was a jerk, so I bought my white instead which was my other top choice.

Dealer installed the updated front springs on my ZL1 today.

The new springs dropped the front roughly a 1/2 inch. Height from the ground to the bottom of the front fender is now just a hair over 28 inches. The bottom of the rear fender to the ground measures 27 and 7/8 inches.

The car's stance is definitely improved with the updated springs.

Here are some before and after photos.

What happened? The 1st dealer I visited had a service advisor who was a complete jerk about it.

Are they performing an alignment with the replacement of the springs?

Took my car in for an oil change this morning and brought this up. They are going to order the springs for me and install when they come in. My SA gave me no fuss about it. Looking forward to these.

Yes, an alignment should be included.

Yea.. I tried another dealer afterwards and haven't gotten a call back about it. Damn service departments act like I'm inconveniencing them.

what is everyone saying when they go to the dealer? say you just want front springs swapped out as per "x" TSB? free of charge with alignment? called a local dealer and they were kinda weird and vague on the situation.
