Re: Front & Rear Springs
Stingray1967,
I got both springs installed, and now the front of the car is sitting at least an inch higher. It seems to be too high. I think I'm even seeing a slight slant upward in the front. Please let me know how yours turned out. Thanks, Joe Sent from my SM-G950U using ZR-1 Net Registry mobile app

Re: Front & Rear Springs
Thanks Joe, the spring install took about 4 hours. I had a group of guys helping, and a local car guy who runs a shop provide the space. Immediately after installing, the car was sitting higher than I wanted. I took the shop owner for a blast up to 7,000 RPM on the freeway, and when we got back it is was sitting PERFECTLY. I know the ride height is probably too high for some of you guys, but for me it is perfect.
A huge thanks to one of the local MN ZR-1 guys (Matt) for lending his Saturday, and to the NCRS guys, and to the shop owner, Eric. For non-ZR-1 repair work, check out https://www.ericsrepair.com/ if you are in the Twin Cities area. -Chris |

Re: Front & Rear Springs
Looks good. Mine is about the same. A little high for me, but OK.

Re: Front & Rear Springs
Joe, does the front sit higher than the rear now? Mine did initially, before I drove it a bit.

Re: Front & Rear Springs
Yes, just a bit. I've driven about 40 miles. I hope it drops a little more, but I'm not sure a composite spring will change much. I'm satisfied now because I know it's correct, and not fractured like the old one.

Re: Front & Rear Springs
Good deal. Enjoy the car! I put mine away for the year the day we swapped the spring. New tires and alignment happening next year as opposed to this year. I didn't want the car sitting on brand new tires over the winter. Better to have it sit on the old tires.
