68 on original 7" rims. 225 70 15". 10" bolts rear. Front springs were cut before I got the car. I added Vintage Air, a much larger radiator, and a heavier Richmond 6 speed trans. I had it aligned and there's only 1 shim on the fronts. You cant go any lower without drop spindles.

Right after pulling it back into the street from rebuilding the suspension. Rear has settled a bit since then:
Here's the original look:
Still looking for recent shots with the new chrome ralleys on it. It has 550 springs up front, half coil cut off. Rears have 8" bolts. The whole car now is 1 1/2" lower than the original picture, above

Purchased my 74 used in 77, ground up restoration in 2001. New stock GM motor, rebuilt TH400, Western 10 X 15 rims. I think that over the 30 years the Vette has aged better than I have.

Can someone explain how to send a picture to a thread on the forum from my pictures on my computer? A little slow here but just want to post a picture to this thread. Very frustrating!
