It’s hard to say that it’s meant to be lowered with the front lift optioned given that aftermarket parts are required to do so and Chevy will probably not give warranty coverage on the front lift system if it fails while using aftermarket collars. That being said I lowered my Stingray and will probably lower my Z06. It’s idiotic that they designed it this way but I’m sure it was a cost savings measure.

You’re right. They should have engineered a 1” drop coilover sleeve somehow with the lift option. That would have been awesome.
my car gets built Tuesday and the dealer is installing my sleeves. I’ll post here in a couple weeks when it’s installed.

It’s good that you have a dealer willing to install the collars. That might give you a path to warranty coverage even if issues arise.

$1600 with sleeve and lowering all corners and doing the track alignment. Not sure how many hours
Same. My car is getting built Tuesday and getting delivered to Abel. Hoping to pick it up in a couple weeks if not sooner. My base C8 took 8 days from built to delivery to Abel.

If you have the lift you need the collars. No lift it’s easy you just turn the coils down. Some dealers may do it and some may not. You’d have to call yours. Pricing as well will be significantly different per location. CA is going to have a way higher labor rate than TX for example.

Local Austin TX dealers will not lower the Z06 but a local speed shop who I use to install my mods spent about 2.5 hours to install the front collars and lower down all four coilover corners. The cost was about $400.
