How to de-pin rear shock/strut
I have tried searching the site but can’t find a good write up showing how to de-pin the rear shocks. My ZL1 rides like a Harley Hard Tail so I’m guessing it’s time for some new struts/shocks. If there is a post, could someone point me to it? Thanks

I guess I’ve got to figure out the search feature a little better. I’ll try again using different search words. I knew there must be tons of info about swapping out the struts/shocks on here. I find a few but I also get a bunch of other stuff. Thanks

Yeah you just need to get some electrical depinning tools. Not to hard to use and take your time. I did mine when I lowered the car about 1/2".

Or just cut them and replace with resistors along coilovers
