How to have adjustable front height?

I hope everyone is doing well...

I would like to be able to fine tune the front ride height,
I have seen the vette brakes front transverse spring for the c3 which you can adjust ride height, but I am curious are there any other ways that I can have adjustable front ride height?

Many thanks!
Cheers,
P.

Coil-over shocks, airbags, hydraulics. Coil -overs are probably the most practical and cost effective.

In my kit car daze we liked nose draggers and used things like air shocks and hydraulics...we got the nose low while driving and could still live with driveways and speed bumps but the ride sucked out loud...then again these were mostly VW base4d kit cars.

Do they make a modern nice coil over for the vette that replaces the stock coil and shock?
I just want to be able to fine tune the height not adjust on the fly....

Hi Bats,
As usual I'm NO help for you!
BUT, I've certainly missed your take on things.
Are you having fun with your project? The pictures are coming, right?
Regards,
Alan

Hey Bats,
Corvette Central has Shark Bite coil over shock front suspension kits that allow you adjust the ride height, in their catalog. This looks like it might fit your needs.
Let's see some pics!
