how do I lower my 81
I'm a pretty savy tech guy and always been a domestic guy but I'm new to the corvette scene and was wondering if someone could help me. I'm trying to lower my 81 vette a couple of inches and I know these cars have an interesting suspension set up so any information on how to do so would really be appreciated thanks guys

Quick answer......front: either purchase new springs or cut a coil off the ones you have. Rear, height adj is done with spring bolts/nuts. If you have adj on yours you can play with it to get the desired result. However angle of your rear shafts is important. Lots of info here on suspension mods so just do some searches and you will find a wealth of info. You don't want to just change one thing on your suspension without checking and looking at other areas. Any changes to suspension will change how the car handles so spend the time getting to know your car. Welcome to the corvette world
