How did you get the tire carrier off? I wanted to take it off one day to clean/polish the aluminum back there but I couldnt get the bolts off the black frame piece that holds the L-shaped bolt/nail shaped things that the tire carrier slides on. Is there another way?

How does it feel compared to the spring?
Using a flat screwdriver I bent the carrier's aluminum bracket.
The spare cant be used anyway it is 14 years old, cant get a new one and I got C5 brakes in the front.

Gotcha! I was thinking of doing that but figured I would end up breaking the thing... I checked my spare and it was really low (20psi) so I filled it up to 60psi and have to check it soon...
Thanks!
You should have Photoshopped the scrapes out of the exhaust before posting - now we're all wondering what you ran over.

Very nice, but the spring bolt carrier looks strange with no bushing in it - maybe a place to set your beer next time you do the rear brakes.
I'm assuming ride height is adjustable based on the threads on the shock base(?)

Great work, as usual!
I thought about photochopping but left it alone. On our last run I was leading and two deers came out of no-where, I took immediate action and ended up in a ditch. The pipes bent a bit and misaligned the right exhaust pipe.
It didn't look right without bushings, I called Van Steel on Friday and they confirmed it goes the way it is in the picture. Yes, the ride height it's adjustable.
Extremely clean C4, very well done! The lower rear mounts as well are Hardbar designs, licensed by VanSteel. I really wish I had these when I had my '89. Some of these parts, like the upper mounts are exactly the same as we supply on $6000 triple adjustable Penske coil overs for C6Z's and ZR-1's.
