I am currently having the same issue. I talked to the guys at my dealership and I even contacted Chevy Customer Service and they said that they had not heard of an issue like this. I really need some accurate information as to whether the spacers belong there. I need something I can SHOW to the guys at the dealership, because a forum comment or two won't suffice.

gosh kids time was when your springs got shot you went to the auto parts store to save the cost of replacing the springs by buying spacers to adjust the cars ride back to height on the side with the shot spring until you could afford a new spring.....Heck some people even installed the spring spacers to jack up your car a little...lol like air shocks in the rear. I imagine unless it is a really different spacer that i have not seen in years and years and years of fixing up hot rods you still had some spring travel only it was just stiffer and really nothing to worry about hurting your car.

I just ordered a new "splitter".... to have as a spare. Cost $100. Not bad. But, it did not come with the VALANCES. I thought it would be part of the package. Does anyone know the GM Part # for the Valances and attachment connectors? |

How far can you drive the car with the spacers in without damaging anything? My ZL1 is being shipped and will arrive with the spacers in and I'm going to have to remove them or take the car somewhere to have them removed. If I take the car to my local service station can they put it on a lift and simply remove them there?

Why wouldn't your selling dealership do this? It's his responsibility to deliver the car in the proper condition.

It's the dealer's job. Sometimes they just don't know to do this step because it's specific to a ZL1 and dealers don't process many of those. Everyone here is just saying to politely remind the dealer of their job, when needed. |

Apparently, they should be kept in your glove box. |
