Default Frame Savers

I'm going to lower my car on stock bolts next weekend.

I'm thinking its pretty important to get frame savers.

Right now - I'm leaning towards frame savers from CCA (rocker panel protectors and FattDaddy/Momma)

http://www.customcorvetteaccessories...fattdaddy.html

Does anybody have any recommendations or opinions on FattDaddy vs. FattMamma?

Typically I tell people that if they have a lot of "up and over" situations, like speed bumps, that the FattMamma's work very well.

If you have angled approach issues, like a steep incline, that the FattDaddys are structurally more sound.

It's is just about 50/50 on which one's people choose.

Hope that helps...

Peace
Chip

I chose Fat Mommas, because of the wider contact surface. I believe they will both do the job............I just got tired of hearing those skids scrapping the driveway when going up or down..............

Hey Rick,

They attach with 4 screws, You will need to pop a 5/32 ( really small )
starter hole.

You can find install instructions here
