Default Looking for specific " DIY lowering" thread

searched and searched....no luck.

im going to lower the Z tomorrow and remember seeing a really well done DIY thread by a guy with a yellow car (maybe it was a C5).

he also was using some nifty home made ramps made of stacked 2x8 lumber.

can anyone recall this thread and direct me to it.

many thanks.

Go to the front page of this forum, go to the top of the page and click on tools, now click on Tech Tips, go down the list and there are two or three posts regarding how to lower your Corvette, on stock bolts or cut bushings. You will find the post with the Yellow Corvette there.

It's a piece of cake to do and it will look so much better
