Following!
From my research it depends on what you want out of it. YI would suggest depending on budget go with drop springs and or full aftermarket coil over setup.

Why not just pull the shocks/springs and replace with z51 shocks/springs?

Lead time on C8 OEM parts seems to be pretty long based on various posts I have seen, though I'm not sure if the struts have been affected by supply issues. If so, maybe you can look for some used ones from someone who swapped them out for aftermarket struts.

This is the best, most complete option there is. If you are unfamiliar with KW, let me fill you in: They make very good quality suspension components... Based out of Germany.

The manual has a section on lowering. It may not answer all your questions, but its a start.

Eibach has springs, but I'm not sure if they have released them. I'd suggest reaching out about availability.
