instructions provided with the kit.
Adjustable Front Struts
(ZL1 1LE Only)
Camber Position for Track Events
The front strut top mount can be
positioned two ways. The original
setting is in the street position, but it
can be turned 180° to the track
position for additional negative
camber on the front.
To adjust the position:1. Raise the vehicle so the tires are slightly off the ground.
2. From the bottom side of thestrut top mount, remove the
Allen bolt that secures the top
mount alignment pin to the top
mount.3. Remove the three strut mountbolts and the alignment pin.

4. Using the hex feature on thetop of the mount, turn the top
mount 180° until the TRACK
CAMBER text is visible and the
second set of top mount holes
aligns with the strut tower
holes.
5. Reinstall the top mount bolts and torque to 29 Y
(21.4 lb ft).
6. Keep the top mount alignment pin and bolt for reinstallation
when the struts are returned to
the street position following the
track event.
7. Verify and adjust the vehicle alignment per track alignment
specifications to optimize
vehicle performance for the
track event.
8. Verify and re-adjust the vehicle alignment as needed following
the track event. Strut Spring Seat Adjustment
The front struts have a threaded
spring seat that allows adjustment
of the preload on the front springs.
The vehicle corner weights and front
trim heights can be adjusted.
The spring seat can be adjusted
approximately 10 mm (0.4 in) up or
down from the nominal position.
Each complete turn of the spring
perch will change the vehicle height
approximately 1.4 mm (0.06 in). Do
not allow the spring seat to contact
the black seal cap when adjusting in
the maximum upward direction.
To adjust the lower spring seat:
1. Raise the vehicle so the tires are completely off the ground.
2. Loosen the lower spring seatbolt. Do not completely remove
the bolt.
3. Turn the spring perch upward to increase spring preload,
or downward to decrease
spring preload.
4. Torque the spring seat bolt to 10Y (7.4 lb ft).
5. Verify and adjust the vehicle alignment as needed following
the spring seat adjustment.

38 Vehicle Care
Caution
Do not use anything other than a
mix of DEX-COOL coolant that
meets GM Standard
GMW3420 and clean, drinkable
water. Anything else can cause
damage to the engine cooling
system and the vehicle, which
would not be covered by the
vehicle warranty.
Engine Coolant
See”Engine Coolant” under
“Cooling System” in the owner’s
manual.
Engine Overheating
See “Engine Overheating” in the
owner ’s manual.
Wheels and Tires
Low-Profile Tires
If the vehicle has 285/30ZR20,
305/30ZR20, 305/30ZR19,
or 325/30ZR19 size tires, they
are classified as low-profile tires.
Caution
Low-profile tires are more
susceptible to damage from road
hazards or curb impact than
standard profile tires. Tire and/or
wheel assembly damage can
occur when coming into contact
with road hazards like potholes,
or sharp edged objects, or when
sliding into a curb. The warranty
does not cover this type of
damage. Keep tires set to the
correct inflation pressure and
when possible, avoid contact with
curbs, potholes, and other road
hazards.
Summer Tires
High Performance Summer Tires
ZL1, SS with the 1LE package, and
LS/LT with the 1LE package are
equipped with high performance
summer tires. These tires have a
special tread and compound that
are optimized for maximum dry and
wet road performance. This special
tread and compound will have
decreased performance in cold
climates, and on ice and snow. It is
recommended that winter tires be
installed on the vehicle if frequent
driving at temperatures below
approximately 5 °C (40 °F) or on ice
or snow covered roads is expected.
See“Winter Tires” in the owner’s
manual.
Caution
High performance summer tires
have rubber compounds that lose
flexibility and may develop
surface cracks in the tread area
at temperatures below −7 °C

Vehicle Care 39
Caution (Continued)
(20 °F). Always store high
performance summer tires
indoors and at temperatures
above−7 °C (20 °F) when not in
use. If the tires have been
subjected to −7 °C (20 °F) or less,
let them warm up in a heated
space to at least 5 °C (40 °F) for
24 hours or more before being
installed or driving a vehicle on
which they are installed. Do not
apply heat or blow heated air
directly on the tires. Always
inspect tires before use. See “Tire
Inspection” in the owner ’s
manual.
Tire Pressure for
High-Speed Operation
{Warning
Driving at high speeds, 160 km/h
(100 mph) or higher, puts
additional strain on tires.
Sustained high-speed driving
causes excessive heat buildup
and can cause sudden tire failure.
This could cause a crash, and
you or others could be killed.
Some high-speed rated tires
require inflation pressure
adjustment for high-speed
operation. When speed limits and
road conditions allow the vehicle
to be driven at high speeds, make
sure the tires are rated for
high-speed operation, are in
excellent condition, and are set to
the correct cold tire inflation
pressure for the vehicle load. ZL1 and SS with the 1LE package
are equipped with 285/30ZR20
(95Y) and 305/30ZR20 (99Y) or
305/30ZR19 (98Y) and 325/30ZR19
(101Y) size tires that are capable of
high-speed use. Make sure vehicles
with this size tires are inflated to
300 kPa (44 psi) before operating
the vehicle at sustained high-speed
operation at speeds over 160 km/h
(100 mph).
LS/LT with the 1LE package is
equipped with 245/40ZR20 95Y and
275/35ZR20 98Y size tires that are
capable of high-speed use. Make
sure vehicles with this size tires are
inflated to 280 kPa (41 psi) before
operating the vehicle at sustained
high-speed operation at speeds
over 160 km/h (100 mph).
Return the tires to the
recommended cold tire inflation
pressure when high-speed driving
has ended. See
“Vehicle Load
Limits” and“Tire Pressure” in the
owner ’s manual.

40 Vehicle Care
Towing the Vehicle
Caution
Incorrectly towing a disabled
vehicle may cause damage. The
damage would not be covered by
the vehicle warranty. Do not lash
or hook to suspension
components. Use the proper
straps around the tires to secure
the vehicle. Do not drag a locked
wheel/tire while loading the
vehicle. Do not use a sling type
lift to tow the vehicle. This could
damage the vehicle.
GM recommends a flatbed tow truck
to transport a disabled vehicle. Use
ramps to help reduce approach
angles, if necessary. A towed
vehicle should have its drive wheels
off the ground. Contact Roadside
Assistance or a professional towing
service if the disabled vehicle must
be towed. To tow the vehicle behind another
vehicle for recreational purposes,
such as behind a motor home, see
the owner
’s manual.SS 1LE, and ZL1 Only
Due to low ramp angles on ZL1 and
SS 1LE vehicles, use care when
loading the vehicle onto a flatbed
carrier. Front spring spacers are
provided for lifting the front
suspension if more clearance is
necessary when towing.
ZL1 1LE Only
Due to the high spring rate and
spring design used on ZL1 1LE
vehicles, spring spacers are not
provided. If more clearance is
needed when towing, raise the
adjustable spring seat to lift the front
suspension. See "Strut Spring Seat
Adjustment" in Track Events and
Competitive Driving 014.
Tow Eye Socket
The ZL1 vehicle is equipped with a
front tow eye that can be used to
pull the vehicle onto a flatbed car
carrier from a flat road surface. Do
not use the tow eye to pull the
vehicle from snow, mud, or sand.
The tow eye is in the rear
compartment storage area.
To install the tow eye:
1. Locate the tow eye socket through the opening in the
grille.
2. Install the tow eye into the socket by turning it clockwise
until it stops.
