Default UPS guy keeps coming by*

Dropping boxes at my house. So I bought a few items for winter mods, that most haven't been installed yet other than the LED tail lights & interior lights. Need to get busy fixing that problem.

I would like to thank Mike@TPS for the Pfadt coilovers, GM Parts House for the C6Z06 sway bars & poly bushings, Corvettemods for the LED interior lights, Fred@ Reverse Logic for the Race Ramps & Forum member 1FunC5 for making me a great deal on all the exterior LED lights and LeMans Blue bra.

Now I need to get busy and get everything installed.

sometimes I go home and check to see if the UPS guy has been there just in case I forgot about something I ordered.

Good luck with your mods!

Nicely done! Be sure to let us know how the new coilovers are performing for you!

The plan is for me to install them. Wish I had a lift, looks like I'll be using jack stands. Do one end at a time seems to be the best way I see to accomplish that.

Jeff great decision on the mods, what I had done with my C5 when it was alive and what a difference, you will be glad you did the handling mods along with the LED bling lighting mods

If you're using jack stands doing one end at a time is definitely the easiest way to go about it. It's going to be a whole lot easier to remove the leaf spring with load taken off of both sides of the spring, rather than having one side preloaded trying to remove the brackets holding the leaf springs in place.

Overall it's a pretty straightforward installation with no drilling or modification required. If anyone wants to check out our installation instructions they can be found here: Pfadt Racing FeatherLight Single Adjustable Coilover Installation Instructions
