Lowered
Well She is done. The front and rear ! I think the rear may have to go up a little, because its way to much work to bring the front down a little ! I didnt slam it, but I think its better. The old pics dont show the fender gap there was because of my good photography.

Your vette
Hey Dan, IMHO, I think you have on of the nicest C4's ive seen. What really impresses me is that you do all your own work
Looks good both ways.

Looks good! I would definitely raise the rear a little. Put it 1/4" to 1/2" higher than the front, so you have a little bit of rake. Yes, it means more gap in the back, but the relationship between front gap and rear gap is more important.

That looks GREAT....Rear needs to come up a tad.....Is there any noticible difference in ride quality? What method of lowering did you use. I may have found my winter project!!!! I am impressed with your work...I liked the pics of your paint work. Very nice...

Thanks guys for all the compliments, and advise. I will bring it up a little, and post some pics in this thread.
what about doing all the work and lowering the front some more ? To low ? To much risk of rubbing ? What you think ? I really dont want to take it all apart again !

My opinion is that the front is just right

It looks a lot better! The front wheel gap looks perfect. Make sure your Vette has a full tank of fuel before you make any adjustments. A full tank of gas will add about 160 lbs. to the rear.

What did you end up doing in the front? I think it looks much better. I never realized how high mine sat until I saw one lowered.
As for raising the rear... How much fuel was in the car in your pics? If it was a full tank I would say to leave it because it will come up quite a bit when it's empty.
