What do US drivers fear most about the driving test isn't about driving? It's parallel parking.

They also know to only use the left lane for passing when on the autobahn. No need for any traffic to be forced to weave in and out of traffic lanes trying to get around slow moving traffic.

So what do I order? I like the ride on my nonz51 FE1 shocks but I just want to lower the car 1”. Do I just replace the shock and with adjustable Z51 shock?

^^^ what he said. I cannot believe the variations this car has from tour and weather mode to track mode in Z51.

I had a C7 with Z51 and mag ride. To me it was a waste of money. My C8 has the FE1 suspension. I don’t know what the OP is talking about “too floaty”. I just returned from a 4000 mile road trip and after 12 hours in the car we were ready for more. I couldn’t ask for a better riding car. Not a “float in 4000 miles.

Well 3 options:
1. Go out and purchase the FE3 spring and install on your car. rockauto.com has them for $150 set.
2. Purchase the Z51 FE3 Coil overs with the new spring set about $500.
3. purchase rear z51 sway bar

purchasing all those items you will havea standard car that handles like the Z51 car.
