Coilovers + Suspension Upgrades?

Has anyone dared to upgrade/change the suspension? Coilovers perhaps?

I'm just not happy with the drop springs give. I'm really considering coilovers to get the stance I want.

I wouldnt want to use crazy drop springs with the magnetic shocks...

If you want to go lower for looks, throw some coilovers on, but IMO you are removing a huge piece of what makes the ZL1 the all around car that it is.

If I am not mistaken the change was made mid way through the 17's no? Mine does not sit any different than a new one.

That is correct.
I believe if you snagged a ZL1 with a build date before March 2017 you got the older (and therefore higher) springs.
