I just measured and the ground clearance to the bottom portion of the lowest part of the front splitter is 5" when the car lift is down.

I spoke with Cicio today and received the attached email, you do not want to cut the bump stops on the Z06. The image you posted is for the Stingray.
So very simple install of these Cicio Performance front lowering collars for the Z06 - no cutting or modifications whatsoever.

So I just want to make sure I understand how this works as I just ordered my Z06 with front lift.
All I need is to buy these for the front and then have the dealer lower it on the existing adjustable coil overs?

Please let us know what spacers you choose to go with.
I’m looking for something flush erring on the conservative side … I don’t want to stick out.

There are no good spacer options on the market right now for the Z06. Paragon should have theirs ready in a couple of weeks. Can't wait!

I have used them on multiple vehicles and have always been very happy with the quality.

So apparently a bulletin went out to service centers that there’s an issue with lowering collars creating hydraulic leaks leading to actuator lift failure, and that any car with collars voids the lift warranty. Apparently this is a recurring issue with these collars.

Anyone have this issue, and is it Paragon collar or Cicio collar specific or is it the same no matter which brand one uses?

I didn't order special washers for mine as mentioned and suggested above and so far so leaks and perfect front lift. I've only put on about 1k miles with this setup but all is good!
