Default Suspension is fixed!!!!!

Got my vette back yesterday from getting the front suspension and springs and all the shocks replaced. It is a whole different car now and I love it. I put in poly bushings, 460 lb springs, and Bilstein shocks. Thanks to those that suggested I pay the extra for the Bilsteins, they feel great. I'm so giddy all I can think about is going out and driving it. I'm sitting at work and the system is crashed so I can't do any CATIA work and I'm bored out of my mind. I just want to go driving!!

If it was me, I would suddenly and mysteriously be infected with a terrible intestinal affliction, causing me to instantly have to leave work ;) .

Congrats on the new susp.!

Who did you alignment? I've got to get mine done when I've finished installing the fiberglass monospring.

I took it to Otis Miller Alignment, they're near Washington and Kellogg. I have to admit I had them do all the work, and they did a great job. They have experience with corvettes and they were right on with the estimate they gave me, within 5 bucks. If I remember right, the charge for the alignment was only like 40 bucks. I would recommend them.

If you haven't done so, install a spreader bar between the front shock towers. It will stiffen up your front end quite a bit. Do this before you have an alignment.
See VBP or Guldstrand.
