    Ongoing Front Lift Issues... Potential Warranty Denial

    Wondering what to do in this situation... I've had ongoing issues with the front lift system on my '22 since day 1, the service front lift message triggered the day I picked the car up from the dealer in December and it's been an ongoing issue since then. I've lost track on how many times I've...

    Insurance cost

    $2400 annual premium and that's with multi product discounts (home and additional auto), located in Toronto. Clean driving record, no tickets/claims in over 10 years, mid-30's (closer end to 40, yikes). I posted earlier today but somehow my premium jumped $400 when I put the C8 back on road...

    To make Insurance Claim or not - cost $2000.00

    Somewhat off topic, but I just put back my C8 back on road coverage for April and my insurance premium increased by $400 since I paused it.... the coverage only started in December when I took ownership and I paused it mid-month for the winter. There's been 0 changes to my driving history & no...

    Question for the hibernators, when do you emerge for Spring?

    hmmm, so sounds like this week is a bit too early then, guess it's not worth it for only 1 or 2 good days in the foreseeable future. I'll see what early April brings...

    Question for the hibernators, when do you emerge for Spring?

    So in Toronto the weather is looking pretty good Wed/Thurs, and the next 2 week stretch is mixed. My car is off insurance at the moment & initially I was going to wait until April to bring it out for the season but considering restarting the coverage so I can do some driving this week... I'm...

    Anyone buy mud guards from GS Creations?

    Thanks - good thing you flagged to contact them. Turns out what they describe as 'extended' are just the OEM mud flaps, which isn't what I'm looking for. Looks like I may have to bit the bullet and purchase from ACS...

    Anyone buy mud guards from GS Creations?

    Looking to grab a set of extended rear mudguards & so far the only options I've found either require you to buy both front/rears & are incredibly $$$. ACS Composites' full is set is $646 and Extreme Online Store is US pricing, will run close to the same amount after taxes, shipping etc. Amazon...

    Lowering a C8 in Toronto? (GTA)

    Check out Humberview Performance in Etobicoke. I have a Z51 w/ front lift & had my C8 lowered there in December. They took it down approx. 1", I'm happy with the outcome, nice aggressive stance.

    My C8 Is Complete (for now)

    Thanks, the tires are stock & I swapped the factory rims with Vossen HF5s & had the car lowered approx. 1”, completely changes the look. Andrew is great to deal with, very happy with my experience. If you’re in Toronto, talk to Zach @ Humberview Performance, they did the wheels & lowering for...

    My C8 Is Complete (for now)

    Thanks - I lowered mine approx 1” using the stock rear shocks (Z51) & lowering collars for the front, I think it’s the perfect amount. Ride looks much different, way more aggressive but not too low that I can’t clear speed bumps. I also got the front lift error code cleared, they bled the system...

    My C8 Is Complete (for now)

    Thanks @Mavrik55 - I will definitely bring that up with them. They had it all day & couldn’t figure it out, maybe this is the issue then. It happened to me pretty much since day 1, I haven’t even had it for 2 weeks yet & it’s happened 6+ times, both before & after the lowering. just clarify...

    My C8 Is Complete (for now)

    Thanks - for those still waiting, it's 100% worth it - I'm absolutely amazed by all aspects of this car, really really happy with it, especially after making the mods. ONE (hopefully minor) issue that I've run into is with the front lift system, the 'Service Front Lift' message has popped up...

    My C8 Is Complete (for now)

    My C8 journey is finally complete (or just starting)! I received my C8 from Spencer’s on Dec 4 (deposit Dec 12, 2020) & just got it back from Humberview Performance today (tints, lowering & Vossen HF5s). Very happy with the final look. Big thanks to everyone on this forum, it was a huge help in...

    Lowering new C8 - ok to do it immediately?

    Yea I was thinking the same thing... what constituents a repair vs a 'performance modification'? I do agree that you could definitely put up a strong case for something such as an exhaust mod being a repair, but if s**t ever hit the fan and I had a major claim being denied... I can't even...
