Default Finally lowered...

Lowered my vette (y2k pewter coupe) 2.5" and now it looks sweet... it would look nice next to Grond

I put on blistens and Napa cross drilled rotors and it looks wayy better than stock... I recommend this to anyone with the stock set up.

Ordered hotchiks sway bars and will put em on during the next week...


Will post pics after I upload em!

Mod fever has set in.

Congrats!

Don't forget to also get an AoS plate from Jeff at Elite Engineering as well...it will increase the performance of your suspension

Also, you may want to consider a 4 wheel alignment in a few weeks.

After spending big $$$ on a Blower mod now I am going with a new 3 inch exhaust and some PRT to make the Pan Mobile sound mean to go along with the sick HP that I have. Lowering you ride is just the start
