Corvette Height
So I'm wondering the way the C3 sits it there a certain height for them? And any way to adjust it? My 77 seems to be sitting higher in the rear than it did before I did the rear change. The distance between the tire and fender looks like more now. Is there any adjustment that can be made?
Thanks

Yeah, the nuts on the spring end bolts can be loosened or tightened. Loosen them down to the ends of the bolts to drop it a little bit. If you're already on the end of the bolts, then longer bolts can be used.
When you get down on the ground and look at the spring and half shafts, are the shafts parallel or horizontal? Do they slope down to the wheels or up to the wheels? Ideally you want them horizontal, maybe a slight downward slope to the wheels.

Has the car been driven since the rear end change? I know that when you set the car back down for the first time they always sit a few inches too high. After a drive though, the suspension settles and the car lowers to a normal height.
