Stock Height Help!
I need to know how many threads are showing on a stock non lowered corvette with base suspension. The easy way I checked was to use my camera and take a pic then zoom in and easily count. I am returning mine to stock height and forgot what the baseline was. For the fronts I am looking sideways from the top of the leaf spring to the top thread. I put mine around 7 threads showing on each side. On the rear I counted from the top of the nut to the top thread and moved it so 9 threads are showing on each side.
Thanks,

Not sure if this helps, but I have a C5Z that is lowered all the way down on stock bolts. I don't know the actual thread count, but the bolts had 3/4" of threads showing...and the car dropped 3/4" when I backed them all the way down.

I remember my 01 with z51 package was 27.5 inches from the floor to the upper wheel well arch (using the center cap for reference) and the rear was 28.5 (all of my wheels were different but this I feel is the average height for most c5's).
I had the exact # of treads written down somewhere but I cannot seem to find my notes right now. If I find them I up let you know.
Hope this helps.
