Also, here is some guy making the Z/28 front splitter for the ZL1 (not much use for you though), I'm curious if they will duplicate it as close as possible. If not, it would likely end up just being a visual mod and not functional..

Thanks for the heads up. Hoping they'll make one for the 2013 SS, I'd jump on it.

It was lowered about 1/2" front and 1" rear, which is the most you'd want to lower it before messing up the suspension geometry and degrading handling, per Pete. I had initially lowered more, but Pete said raise it back up. And now I'm raising the rear 1/4", so I'll end up with 1/2" front and 3/4" rear lowering. However I run 315/30-18 Hoosiers at the track and that lowers my car an additional 1.3".

According to my measurements, both Z/28 and 1LE suspensions have a slight rake, with rears being about .25" higher than fronts. I'd highly recommend keeping that.

As far as I know, BC Racing ER springs should be direct fit for you. Just order 12 kg/mm springs for your rears, and combined with OEM rake, it should reduce that squat big time!

Thanks for the heads up! Do you happen to know what the Pedders spring rates are, front and rear?

Oh thank you. I'll have to go check out the HF that's down the street.

This is a small Lowe's trailer with a couple of truck tool boxes attached. Higher quality than the Harbor Freight trailer I borrowed from a friend once.

Would you mind saying how much the trailer was?

The trailer was $429:

The two tool boxes were $218 each. Better Built 30x12x11", also from Lowes. Heavy duty and lockable so I can keep my floor jack and tools in them overnight at hotel.

Thanks. I'll have to check to see if I can mount some 22"s on there lol

several of the Porsche guys I track with use the HF trailer. each one is set up slightly different. some have removable boxes and some use permanent boxes like Orange Crush 1LE does.
I've been looking to go with a trailer too, but got distracted by the broke timing chain. the car is extremely full once I get a couple of tires, jack, cooler, chair, tools, spares.........etc loaded into it.
There seem to be at least 2 hiches that don't require cutting the diffuser (Draw Tite and Hidden Hitch).
here's an older thread regarding some hitch options

Hoping to revive this thread. Does anyone know how to remove the rear seat backs?
