ride height differene front and rear
what should the difference in height be for my vette
i dont remember stock heights but i do remember the rear and the front have different heights and have heard if the rear is too low at high speeds it can make the rear lift upon decelaration
the difference in height on my vette between the front and rear
right now the rear is .75 inches higher in the rear than the front
is that right or should i adjust it (cut bushings, longer bolts) tires are almost factory height

the tecnical answer is....
A West Coast Corvettes "expert" said the rear needs to be at least 4% higher than the front; especially for the active handling to work. Simply multiply your front tire/wheel diminsion by 104 to get the minimun height that the rear should be.
