Parts came in! The first 5 pictures are with the suspension in full rebound, the rest are with the vehicle on the ground. At first, the scoop seems very close to the ground, however, it looks like this is normal. I am measuring 3 1/16" ground clearance on the M2. My friend has the CT5-V BW version on his ZL1 1LE and it is measuring 2.5" of ground clearance with no problems. Must be more cautious with daily driving, and I would not want to keep these on for any winter use. The tie rod end cover seems like it will fit with a new hole drilled to align with the M2 mounting locations.
These seem reasonably effective at channeling airflow to the brake cavity from the ground and the heat exchanger. The M2C car will have even more cooling because of the ducting going from the front grill into the wheel well, very similar to what is done on all the Camaros. Combined with a low-coverage brake shield, I am expecting improved brake cooling. I will be installing these (and the GT3 deflectors in the rear) in the next few weeks to prepare for a 3-day weekend with PCA at Grattan Raceway. The 130mph+ front straight into a 60 mph turn should be a decent proving ground to compare to my excessive pad wear at Mid-Ohio. I'll have new front pads for Grattan of the same compound.
I'll share installation photos.
