Crimson Thunder

I have a 1970 no option car with stock suspension(except a 15+year old set of KYB shocks). My Corvette sat perfect until I put on a set of aluminum heads a couple of years ago.Then it sat about an inch taller than it was before.
I just completed a new ball joint and tie rod end project and took one complete coil off the front springs thinking it would lower the car 1 inch. Now it sits too low. It is 26 inches from the ground to the fender lip.
Is there a "safe" way to raise the car an inch or am I stuck buying new springs? I know I should buy new springs and shocks but the Mrs. said no more Corvette parts until She gets new floors.

Coil spring spacers are available from spring shops or summit/jegs. Various thicknesses and materials

GM used to sell air conditioning spacers, basically a piece of hard rubber that went under your coil spring, I have them in my #1 below, mine might have come from Moroso

Thanks for the help. I just ordered some 1/2 inch spacers from Summit.

So when is she getting the new floors?

Before you add the spacers, read the section on proper suspension measurements in the AIM. The present height might be OK. IMO, I like the way it looks, it is similar to my 70 BB.

The height in your pic looks fine to me.

As soon as she picks them out.

I had to cut my spring then heat the top coil to get it to lower to that height. If it rides bad I was planning for semi coil overs anyway.

I put 550 springs in my 81 and all 4 corners sit at 26 inches.
