Default C4 Black Lowered ( PICS INSIDE )

Well I just finished my latest mod. I lowered the front and back. I like the back with alittle angle, I dont want it flush.

Next on the list is C5 Brake Upgrade. Probly buy tomorrow.

Really good looking!

Front end lowering: What did you do, only removed the spacers between frame and spring or did you remove anything at the control arm end/spring end?

What size tires do you have in front?

I removed all the rubber in the middle down to a 1/8 inch or a little less. On the ends I removed about 3/4 of the rubber. I shaved alot off cause the LS2 lifted my front end higher than stock vettes. I could fit a whole fist in there before now only 1 to 2 fingers. Perfect lol

Tires are I believe 285/35/18

Looks great, nice wheels. I think you can pull that rear down a little more and still have some rake- just my 02.

Yeah I have the 10 inch bolts in right now. I dont want to spend the $109 on the 12 inch bolts. I was thinking of using the stock rubber bushing that came off the stock bolts and chopping it in half. It should give me the inch Im looking for. But its not bad as it sits. Its about 2-3 fingers now.

Just take the shims from above the spring and put them below the spring.

The Vette looks Sharp.

Hmm...those CCW wheels are growing into me very slowing.

I hated them with a passion for years but not anymore.
