Z/28 camber plates

I had some Moreno camber plates installed.

This increased the front ride height by 1/8th of an inch.

The Z doesn't have true coilovers, so now way to lower it.

I haven't had a chance to track it yet, but typically I wouldn't raise just the front ride height. Any ideas on how to lower it back down?

Did you have to modify the shock towers at all? And do you have any pictures??

Did the shop tighten up everything at ride height?

Perhaps the front springs need to settle?

1/8th inch is barely noticeable. I would think the difference between a full fuel tank vs empty or a passenger would make more than an 1/8th inch ride height change. Even tire pressure could make this small change...

don't worry about it. I have those Moreno plates on my car. Fantastic quality.
I have a track only car that gets driven very hard. No issues.

Do you aggressively track your Z/28?

I too can vouch for these. Beautiful pieces, work as advertised, fabulous on track. I run in the instructor group, no problem chasing down 996 GT3s and most 997.1 GT3s as well. Wasn't aware of any ride height difference but certainly not noticeable on track.

An FYI:

Large sweeps of camber adjustment will alter ride heights, especially with wide tires that have stiff carcasses.
