Last night, when I compared my 85 to fellow CF member's(Vash) 86 Corvette, my 85 sat a full 2" higher in the back, and the front is higher too. Anyone have any ideas what's up? The only different between our two cars, is my wheels should actually fill up the wheelwells better, because I have the ZR1 rims(17x9½) all the way around with 275/40 17 tires, where he has stock 255/50 16 on stock rims. But still...any ideas on how to get my vette low like everyone elses?

MY 95

275 tires are bigger but not that much.....maybe you have new rear suspension??

Also, my shocks are brand new... we know yours have some miles on 'em..

That girl I brought down with me was ALL OVER you dude! If she was any bolder, she woulda been sitting in your lap! Sucks to be me! heh. IM me...

Maybe he's got worn out springs?

I'd actually like for mine to sit a little higher than it does now.

We've got the same miles. I have z51.. he doesn't./

From ground to bottom lip of fender, highest part in the arc:

DriverFront - 27.25"
Driver Rear - 27.25"
PassFront - 27.5"
PassRear - 28.5"

Ground-to-body - 6.5"

Whats the difference in springs for Z51 to non Z51 for 84/85/86/87.

The reason I ask is mine sits kind of low, and people who ride in it tell me it handles like it has the stiffer springs or a handling package, but no handling package is noted in the numbers.

Did they put Z51 springs in a different year without calling it Z51?

BBA

I was going to measure mine, but couldn't find any of my tape measures

Here's a longshot... How big was that girl He had in His car?

TIMSPEED

Small. LOL I have NO idea what could cause my vette to be so gosh darn high, and if anyting I have subwoofers in the back of my vette, and Brian doesn't. So...

Kale

Maybe someone raised your car. Who knows??

TIMSPEED

ACTUALLY...I'm trying to make it a complete 4wd amphibious vehicle. HA HA HA. JUST KIDDING. AHHH! I need a slammed vette!

Kale

Then quit bitching and slam it!!!

Dude, my new mustang is going to rock your vette!!!!

Some early C4 suspension info:



And the fiberglass springs does not get softer like the metal springs. They keep ther spring rate much better over the years.
