Any Lowered Zl1's out there

Looking to clean the wheel gap in front. Anyone running BMR, or Phastek? Seems that Eibach still shows more gap in front than rear.

I'm installing Phastek springs on my '17 ZL1 when I get back. They seem to give the car a great stance.

Def waiting to see this, I was thinking Eibach, but saw Phastek had like a 1.5 in drop/...

AzCharlie put some springs in a few weeks back and posted. There is also a recent post in the past 24 hours here about possible replacement springs for the ZL1 built before a specific date. I looked at your original post when you purchased your ZL1 and it appears to me to have a large gap in the front compared to other ZL1's, maybe it's just my eyes but worth looking into before buying springs.

Yeah the gap is pretty significant and annoying. I did read the post about GM putting updated Springs on the 18'. Not too sure if they will swap them out though.

Google "lowered 2017 ZL1" and you'll find a picture of one done with Phastek springs. It only drops the ZL1 by 1.25", but it doesn't look slammed by any means in the pictures.

Check out the other thread - they will swap them out via warranty. Additionally, you can purchase them for $29.

Any other shots Ricardo? I know the wheel is turned so makes the left rear raise a bit.

I've been lowered on Eibach prokit since February.




Very happy with the stance!! Rides great with no effect to the MR

Dropped mine on kw v3 coilovers and love it. Ride is better than the mrc in my opinion. I havent had time to do the final adjustments yet, im waiting on my wheels.
