Thanks. I'm gonna change one by one. After installing sway bars I'll take it to track and see how it handles. Then I may go and install the springs.

Which spring do you recommend? Eibach? Previously I only knew BMR.

My car has mag ride. I know 1LE suspension kit includes re-calibration but it doesn't work on 2016. If I choose to install other springs, is this something I need to consider?

My ZL1 is mag ride also so there isn't anything to consider. All of the major brands are good like BMR, AFE, and Eibach. I have Eibach because I trust their research & technology. No recalibration is necessary of the mag ride (or possible). The slightly lower stance and spring rate change is enough to help the ass happy dynamics. My car feels much more planted than stock, and I have been on track with other ZL1s which have stock springs and similar alignment settings.

For a car used on road courses with any seriousness you really need to choose springs based on rates first, and after that ride heights/amounts lowered. H&R is another high-quality brand.

I'm a bit surprised that the online Chevy Performance Parts catalog doesn't list any suspension springs (regardless of who they might be re-branded from).
