That's basically the stuff my Fox front k-member kit came with and I bought adjustable struts. Different suspension type. They make coil over kits for C3's but corvette tax as always.

I vaguely remember about 25 years ago, it was possibly Chris Alston who sold parts to back-half cars for wide tires when the pro-street thing was all the rage. There was a kit that enabled one to use affordable Monroe shocks and use some sort of steel collar to put coils over them. Can't remember if they were threaded for adjustability. Probably not. Oh well, all of us Corvette guys are rich and don't care about low-buck stuff anyway, right!?!?!
This question was more out of curiosity than seriously considering it. I was going to take a leaf or two out of my rear spring and use some NOS air shocks I got here from a member for a hundred bucks to adjust my rear ride height, and cutting the front coils until I was happy like I did in the 80s with custom trucks. Instead I spent two grand on some Van Steel offset rear arms and double adjustable QA1s this past weekend, a deal from another member. One extreme to another, huh? Of course now I won't be satisfied with anything less than double adjustable coil-overs up front! Owning a Corvette is like dating a damn stripper, I swear the money just flies out of my pockets. Well, at least I am not dating strippers anymore...at least till I get the Vette back on the road...
Already have 8" bolts, still too high. I have the rear coil-overs ready to go in and will be getting some up front too. I want to be able to adjust EXACTLY the ride height, especially if I want to swap different wheel/tire combos. I was just curious if these sleeves would be a low-buck alternative, the real coil overs ain't cheap!
