I hear that raising the diff in the c3 vettes make a improvment, but guys like me that installed a t56 trans would make the angle more drastic, I would have to angle the diff up about 2 degrees , being that my tranny is about 2 degres pointing thew other direction, oposite but same angle means no vibration.

thanks
The improvement had by raising the diff in a lowered chassis is to compensate against the rear suspension otherwise ending up working from an adverse point on the tow-steer curve. Bearing in mind that from the point at which the half-shafts become level rear toe travels progressively towards toe-out, the rule of thumb is to have the inner u-joints ~1/2" higher than the outers at static ride height when all is done. This isn't something I'd skip doing over having to re-set the pinion angle. My $.02

I would have voted stock brakes but what would the entry price be, coil overs or vbp transverse front spring have adjustment drop spindles do not so they would need a better price for us budget ( cheap ) builders...
