anyone exprience lowering springs on zl1 before and after?
 
I would like your guys opinions on the zl1 ride before and after installing lowering springs with of course keeping the magnetic ride control. One big reason I'm selling my 2010 looking for a better ride and handling over coil overs. Was there much difference before and after? hardly noticeable? if you could state how much you lower it. thanks

Going from stock springs to DSE drop springs is about the same as running the car in sport mode on stock springs

Springs
 
I installed 1" drop springs from BMR with mag ride shocks. Made custom 1/2" spacer for rear springs. I like it a little higher in back not lower. I did allot of the front and rear suspension upgrades (can list if you want). I love how it feels now, like being glue to the road! (Do not mix after market and stock springs, car feels totally wonky)

I installed the BMR 1.25" lowering spring. Car handles great and looks a lot better than stock. I can't stand a bunch of wheel to fender gap. I road race the car from time to time and it does great on the tack.

Eibach Pro Kit. These springs came with the car when I bought it but I think it's a 1" drop.

As a person who always considers the background and lighting when taking pics, I love seeing this kind of pic. It demonstrates the moments before the pic was taken when the owner is so pleased with the visual appeal of the car that he has to stop and stare at it before walking away. I know that feeling. Truly a luxury to be appreciated.

+1

I went with BMR 1.4 in the front. Liked how it sat so much I decided to leave the back stock.

Aren't these cars low enough from factory? I hit enough driveways, etc. as is.
