Good to hear. The minor drop from doing just the middle wedges is what has kept me away.

Hey Bubba!

I'm gonna drive over to Daytona so you can help me lower my front!

I've been wanting to do it. I'm actually in the process of installing longtubes in mine now!

Your car looks great!

I could do that.. Honestly it took me like 10 and a half hours including 3 trips to Harbour Freight and a quick dinner. I told my girlfriend if I had to do that again it would cost some $$$. But hey, you could use my tools and do most of the work and I'd be down for that. It's not that difficult, just a lot of work. No, I wouldn't charge anything

I'm sure we could get it done in less than 5-6 hours. Maybe you could help me sand on mine a little. It would be cool to meet a fellow member of the forum

Sounds like a plan! Just probably won't at least be for a month. Car is up in the air now.

What are you sanding on yours? Prepping for paint?

Can any lowering be achieved by removing the rubber at the spring ends, without removing the wedges?

Great looking stances on these vettes! I can't wait to get my vette lowered like these Bubba and LD85! It's always nice to see other DIYers turn out a beautiful ride!

Yes! That's what I did and absolutely love it. I thought about the wedge mod but I'm not as convinced as I need to be that I want it that low.

OP, yours was a huge improvement, congrats! And I could be wrong, but it looks like you have 18's all the way around?
