allkar or vettethret (coilover ?)
quick question for either of you guys. i am about to buy a set of coil overs. i know other cars but i am not too sure about the corvette sus lay out. if i get the coilovers (threaded shock and spring combo)...do i need anything else to make the kit work or will it bolt right up? i was contemplating on just cutting the bushings and lower rear bolts...but i would rather have more adjustability options. also will the camber adjust fairly easily or is there a camber correction kit i should get? thanks in advance.

If you are going very low make sure you get the shock bodies shortened at least 1.5" so you will get some travel back! Depending how low again I would get the baer bump steer kit that corrects suspension geometry. Other than that they are a true bolt in so nothing special is needed. Good luck, you'll love em.

vettethret,
I know you got your car tuned at LAPD. Now that you've run it awhile, what do you think? Any issues? Was it worth it? I'm thinking of doing it. Just wanted your feedback first.
thanks
