Below is a pic of our shop car on our SP041 springs, I know it is not a ZL1, but it gives you a reference of where our spring will get you. Let me know if you have any questions.

a little bit. I think my car looks level and "normal" now. It doesn't have a strange rake either.

Thanks for sharing the photos. It appears in this photo that the front gap is smaller than the rear gap, is it actually smaller? or atleast equal? Also, are you feeling any difference in the ride, street and freeway/highway? Thanks

Great looking ZL1 btw

the ride is close to identical with the Eibach Pro springs. I’m picky too and hate a harsh ride. The gap might be very slightly less up front.

I keep seeing posts for lowering springs yet the biggest thing I see even on lowered car is the larger gap on the front.. why are yall ordering the same springs in front and rear.. Why not 1.25 in the front and 3/4 in the back to even it up vs 1.5 and 1.5..

this was a issue on the 5th gen as well.. Was told these are ways GM is able to play with the gas milage..

You don't see this on the vette's guess gm thinks if you get a vette gas milage is nothing to worry about lol!
