off roading vette
Just installed bilstien sports and the car rides great...but now it looks like I could go off roading with it...Is this temporary and will the suspension/shocks settle down as I drive it, or is this the norm? did not have this problem when I had the QA1'S installed in the rear...maybe because I changed all four at once? Anyone have this problem?

I installed Bilstein sport shocks, Z06 sways and lowered on stock bolts all at the same time. The car looked 4x4ish until I drove it about 5 or 10 miles and the suspension settled.

I see your bet and I'll raise you with this.....
One very dirty Vette being used as a dead man to pull this.....
A drift boat up a bank , about 150 foot pull .
If your going to fish for Moby Dick , you better bring the tarter sauce .
If you want the boat back , do it with a C5 !

It will probably settle some as you drive it, but you can always lower it if it doesn't go down as far as you like.
