Thanks, VikingTrad3r.
it's been a while since I lowered it but the front is lowered about an 1.5 or 1.25 rear is nearly 3 inches lower. I'd like to lower the front more, probably later when I get a stiffer spring. Just chopped off the rubber bits like most people do, and 12 or 11 inch bolts in the rear, I think it's 11.
Rears are spaced out an inch, fronts are 20mm and it's honestly not enough for the front, rears could use another 5mm too. No rubbing issues though.

And if it wasn't that great a deal, well then I'm just going to cry in my coffee mug while I drive it as much as possible!
Very nice looking piece. Good work, enjoy!!!

Z06 replica wheels are available in 17" and/or 18" so you can do all 4 in the same size if that is a requirement in your home land.

Nice picture set against the black & white background.
What color is your car? In the picture it looks maybe silver or champagne?

@ Mrbobperry

Wow...that is really nice!
That combination of color, body kit, and wheels makes for a most unique and standout Corvette...I've never seen one done like that before. Very nicely done!

What kind of wheels are those? I don't think I have ever seen any.
