Wish I knew of a member around these parts that had the Caravaggio on a TR Coupe. I really need to see one in person.

There's something about your car that I just love!
Especially that last picture, just looks awesome! Makes me wish I did 5% tints instead of 20%. haha

After you cruised it around? the shocks will drop if you give it some spirited running. If you are maxed out, you can remove the lowering bolt all together, that will drop you about 2" from stock

What else did you guys do to your suspension besides lowing with the bolts. I tried lowering the rear for a few days and it rode like a frickin tank....damn. Put it back up until I can buy new Bilstein shocks...if that's what it takes to get a decent lowered ride.

thats what I did. In my pic you can see the front a little higher than the rear. Took out the bolt and now its flush

I lowered the rear on stock bolts and removed my front bolts. It looks so much better.

I'm low enough to wait until some pot holes get fixed around here before I put on the road for the summer.

No bolts in the front, longer in the rear. I wouldn't say it's slammed but its lower than most.

looks sweet. Are those the SP500's? I think there the best looking rims for vettes. Is that a custom front airflow on your front plate?
