Vette Brakes and Products, a company.

You can also do a front-end coilover conversion for about $500. Pretty reasonable if you need to replace shocks anyway. Then it's adjustable and slammable.

I am currently lowered in the back but not in the front and I rub on bumps with anything more than 3/4 tank of gas. You lowered yours more than mine, do you rub at all? I am on stock sized tires.

ya, my back end can't get any lower, but no it doesn't rub at all. i also have stock rims and tires. but in a few weeks i will be getting C5 Zo6 rims and Kumho EcstaMX tires. i may lower the front depinding on the new rims and tires.
best thing i can think of is to lift up the back about 1/4 in. try that you wont see much of a diff cuz the weight of your fuel.
BTW what year is it?
