FWIW, mine is slightly lowered and I shaved the upper spacers. Mine is at -2.2*. With the offset bushings from VB&P, I could see getting -3* or at least the very high twos.

Default Link update

Just adding an updated URL path...

Tried to follow the OP's link but it was not working. Went to root of site and found the correct (updated) link. Here it is for all those interested.

http://www.racecars360.com/Corvette_...uspension.html



Figured I'd help. Don't know about y'all, but I HATE when I find a thread that I want to read but the pics aren't there anymore or links don't work. Seems to only happen to the ones we'd actually like to keep eh?

This is the first time I've read this post/article. I'm already loaded with VPB heim jointed products on the rear but have never seen a product like the heim ball seals that were linked. I've been running a set of heim jointed camber rods without these seals for over a decade (but grease the regularly)and just lost 2 joints on one of the rods at the end of last year due to a failed wheel bearing vibration. The seals seem like a good way to go to cut back on the grease monkeyness.
