Hers a couple of pics. Just finished setting the ride height. After about 50 miles my passenger front settled about 3/4". Will adjust tomorrow.

Post note: this is as low as you can go without tires rubbing in corners combined with hills, back country roads. When the front passenger side settled it did rub.

Awesome - are these BC BR Coilovers?

If I couldn't have red, that grey would be my color , looks nice

Thanks

What coilovers are you running?

Mr. Stacy · 03-03-2016, 07:28 PM

I am curious, do you need to time your bushings after installing coil-overs?

JMT · 03-03-2016, 07:42 PM

VI put Ridetech coilovers in along with new end links and ZL1 sway bar so yes I needed to time the bushings. Also put 100 miles on it before realignment to let everything settle out.
Last thing I need to do is adjust the headlights upward due to the lowering.

Looking Good!

How low is this ?

Mike_G · 03-08-2016, 08:30 AM

Any noise from the ridetechs or are they quiet?

pancherj · 03-08-2016, 09:28 AM

Did you roll the wheel well lip? If not, be careful hitting potholes or railroad crossings!

Dubscamaro · 03-08-2016, 10:21 AM

I'm confused. Do you have a 1le or 1lt? I was wondering because I thought it was hard to lower a 1le without having to do everything ☹
