Looks great! Curious to see how it tracks. Would be nice to hear your impressions of track day on stock ZL1 then with changes.

Great post! Can't wait to get my car and began the mods! Look forward to feedback from the road course!

On the driver's side of your ZL1 on the rocker panel... is that a "crack" below the R in CAMARO?

Very nicely, I noticed no "shuttering" at all.

When in TOUR mode, would I feel a noticeable difference in ride comfort over the stock springs, as I do on our 2010? Or do the MRC shocks compensate accordingly and still able to provide a softer ride. One of main things that excited me about the ZL1 was the MRC, and so I am cautious about changing anything that would drastically change the ride comfort for those long cruises.

Having said all that, my car is also Black on Black wheels and your car's stance looks perfect!

During initial testing I noticed a slight firmer ride, but in no way harsh. It still felt like touring mode so to say. It felt like the shocks could handle the upgraded springs very well but as mentioned I will be doing more testing to confirm this. The owner put about 1000 miles on his car since new, and will now drive it around doing the same thing and will give me his feedback to what, if any changes were.

We are looking into this as we speak, we are looking into shorter rods, adjustable rods etc. Relocating them is pretty easy, but I would prefer to do it properly which would be a different length rod.

You do get increased neg camber when lowering it, however the stock setting can be dialed back in with an alignment. An alignment is always recommended regardless to ensure all specs are proper!

You bet, I will make sure to provide tones of video and feedback once I get a chance to take them both to the track!

No Sir, that is just water from the rain

You can see the same water, but dried up in the photo of me measuring the side skirt height
