Getting Corvette raised?
I own a 1988 Corvette and was wondering if it is possible to get my car raised and if so how would that effect my car? I drive my Corvette almost everyday. It floods pretty bad when it rains in the area where I live. Since Corvettes sit so low to the ground I dont want to be caught in a bad situation. If I can get it raised to the point where it still looks cool without sticking out like a sore thumb that would be ideal. If anybody has any ideas about the possibility and the outcome of getting this done, the total cost and additional parts that I would need please let me know. Thanks :)

:lol: :lol: :lol: O.K. seriously, you might be able to install more shims between the frame and the spring or make shims for between the lower a-arm and the spring. We also offer an Xtreme front spring which is ride-height adjustable like the C-5. We can also make a sport spring with a higher rate which will raise the car but you will be sacrificing ride.

I wouldn't go there, not at all. Vettes are not water proof, that's all there is to it ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! :nonod: :nonod: :nonod: :nonod: :nonod:

Damn... I'd love to have that monster for a winter-mobile :yesnod:
Especially since winter here is usually 4 or 5 months of nasty, snowy, gravelled roads :(
Gimme one :cool:

Sounds like it's time to buy an old Pick-up (beater) to use as a 2nd vehichle. After lowering mine, there is NO way I'd go back. Not only does it handle better lowered but, it looks :cool: !
