Just a FYI, when you get your springs done make sure they do a front and REAR alignment. All 4 wheels needed adjustment!!

So I dropped my car off to get 2nd free oil change done and they also fixed the front stabilizer link issue and also ordered me the front springs. Painless.

mr965 · 09-09-2017, 02:45 PM

my dealership said they'd order the springs and call me in a week. That was 3 weeks ago.

I feel like the car is slightly too high even with the "correct" factory springs. Eibach pro coming soon. Only $265.

Be aware that mine is 2018 and measuring the height it is the same like the white 2017 with the eibachs, so maybe you will get similar height, maybe wait up to the aftermarkets adjust their springs

Same here, except I'm only at 2 weeks so far. These dealerships are ridiculous. First one refused to do it and the second seems to be lying. I called the advisor Saturday and he said it looks to him like only one spring came in so far. I may just say screw it. I can't stand when people insult my intelligence. I don't know about yours, but I bet mine were never actually ordered.

I got the new GM springs installed per the bulletin at dealership and they measured the same before and after. Do you think they need to settle a little? Hopefully they just didn't put the new original ones in.

EDIT: Mine measures 28" from floor to fender so I guess that's what its supposed to be? I was measuring the wheel gap which was like 3 1/2 inches.

Stephen12ZL1 · 09-21-2017, 08:34 PM

mine is about 27 1/2" front and not quite 28" rear with the Eibach Pro kit.

My dealer did the springs today

. was from floor to lip 28 1/4 now 27 3/4 .. ride seems to be smoother over bumps ..

Still seems high in the front to me ..

TheElementalCashew · 09-26-2017, 08:24 PM

Per the PDF document posted in post #183, our cars should be at 28", plus or minus 0.5".

Evolvedx27 · 09-26-2017, 08:29 PM

my car is getting finished up tomorrow. unfortunately i forgot to measure before car went in..

I have the camber plates and lots of negative camber dialed in. The dealer said they would only realign to factory specs. WTF! I need the current settings back as I have a track day this weekend. I'll have to appeal to the service manager to see if I can get any help. Chevy service reps really are idiots! This is likely the last Chevy I buy.

It's a dealership not a high performance shop... they know OEM and that's it. Absolutely nothing else. Regarding anything.
