Default "94 front spring lowering...

I have never had anything to do with this on the front of a C4, my 87 sat nice and low in the front when i bought it, but my 94 doesnt sit quite as low. (at least 1/2 inch higher) What does it take to lower the ride hight of the front on these?

Did your old Vette have the Z51 suspension? That may have caused a slightly lowered appearance.

Nah mate, that and sport seats were the only 2 options the 87 DIDNT have... it had everything else (even had low tire presure warning)

you can buy the kit from mid america design, it's 40 bucks. www.madvet.com...it's under the c4 section. All you do is drop the front spring, and replace the stock wedges with triangular ones. However, if you want a lower stance like my brother(wheelman89) and I did, if you look at the end of each side of the leaf spring you can cut the rubber off the ends and glue a thinner piece of rubber in its place, this will get it to sit a little bit lower. Follow this link: CentralCoaster has a good step by step sheet on how to drop the front. Lowering Kit Installation Look under tech info...Good Luck!

is there any other way to do it without pulling out the spring or is that the only way?
