I do have spacers 5mm front and 15mm rear. So only with really hard bumps or going fast with a hard drop etc i run and it’s slight. They ride great although i wish the front was about 1/2” lower and the stance would be perfect

Respectfully disagree. I think it’s perfect as is. Looks balanced.

Btw, did you remove your front splitter?

Thank you. It doesn’t show it in the pics but i do feel like the rear has settled another 1/4” so that’s why i think the front needs a little more. But pictures hide the flaws well.
As far as the front splitter. Funny story, when i bought the car, the front splitter was black, when i drove to check it out i realized the place painted it red. I didn’t like it so i painted it black for now until i find out if i wanna dona zl1/1le front bumper or just get a nicer front lip. But long story short, no, it’s there just red. Here’s an updated pic of my car with rocker panels and updated wicker bill spoiler

I lowered my 2021 2SS with MRC on H&R's as well. They have been on for about a week. I see a difference but not as low as yours yet. I think it will continue to lower the more I drive it. From what I read it should be lower that BMR and Eibach.

Looks good. How is handling in regards to understeer? More rear drop you loose rake and get more understeer. In general.

Honestly it feels even better. When taking turns fast the car is much more precise and lays very flat. In future I will get the DSC controller

Cool. The lower stance and stiffer rates(?) will compensate and overcome any thing I said usually. Glad it works!

I made a quick decision the oter night and went with H&R springs front and rear. Overall the stance looks really good to me, they've been on a week and so far I like how they look.

I haven't decided yet on the performance side, I can tell the struts weren't made for this ride height.... sometimes under the right load it'll do pogo stick slightly, or rebound harshly and not settle off the first unload of the suspension. It'll take two bounces to settle on the right situation.

For me, I want the performance to be better, not just looks. more than likely going to GM lowering kit soon.

Why not go with the Eibach spring that was specifically designed for the 1LE?
