Default Lowering options with lift

Are the lowering collars the only solution to lower the cars that came with the front end lift?

Can’t seem to find any coilover options and lowering springs don’t seem to be listed specifically for the cars equipped with the lift.

I believe KW Coilovers are your only choice besides what you mention above. Very expensive! I have the Paragon collars and springs with zero issues!

Paragon and Eibach* both offer lowering springs that will fit. I'd personally just go with the Paragon or Lingenfelter* lowering collars though, then lower the rear to match. (* for the one I'd personally purchase for my car)
  • Fits all C8 Corvettes - (Base, Z51, Front Lift, Mag Ride - All verified @ Paragon )
  • Smooth ride
  • Mag Ride functions like factory
  • Front Lift still functions like factory
  • 1 Inch of lowering

This is lowered w/ Paragon springs, ride is amazing. I also used their collars but shimmed back 1/8" using their shims so it wasn't all the way down.in front.
