Well, I finally got it done this last week. Had a bear of a time with the front though. Had to change out the spring cause the bolts were froze up. But I found a spring locally within an hour so that was good. Been driving it around so it would settle a little before the alignment tomorrow. I took the bushings all the way off on the front and put some plastic covers on them so it wouldn't be metal to aluminum. Think I got it from Mid America, not sure though. Put new longer bolts in the back.

So what do you all think??

This is when I bought the car last year...

And this is today.....Is it just me, or does the front not look lowered? It is all the way down. Maybe needs to settle some more?

looks good. the front might need to go lower, so you'll have to cut the bushing.

Looks lowered all around for me. I noticed that you changed your wheels, maybe the size and sidewalls are not the same as before and it gives you this feeling.

Try backing up the driveway and then check.

Now watch out for those speed bumps!

What is there to understand....A lowered vette looks better. It does have some drawbacks, but the result far outweighs any negatives in my opinion.

Give the car some more time, it should drop alittle more...mine did

looks good. I'm hoping to lower mine as soon as I get it back together. Then I get to check my driveway clearance - if I'm still ok I'll be getting a chin spoiler for it.
