Default Frame savers......

I am going to lower my car. What is the best things I can do to try to protect my undercarage and where can I buy them???

The front rollers?

frame rail skid plates?

Better shocks? I have a standard c5 suspension.

sway bars?

Bump stear protectors?

I would definitely go with the front rollers and the frame savers from A & A Corvettes. They have saved me countless times!

That's what I did, except I bought the front rollers that have 2 wheels on each side from a forum member.

I have the reenforced steel plates that bolt on over the front nose rails, works great and does have a nasty sound if you bump them, but they are doing their job.

I had the frame savers and sold them, my pipes are actually a bit lower than my frame and it wasn't doing anything for me.

If you have a base model suspension, HOTCHKIS SWAYBARS are an AWESOME upgrade!
