Bumpy ride
Hello,
I am looking to see if anyone has ever had a similar problem or advice.
2000 Corvette, auto, 100k miles, headers, intake, was lowered for several years, year ago raised to stock height.
The problem.
Driving 60 MPH traffic stops I have to slam on the brakes, brakes lock up and skid for 30 feet. Ever since that incident the car feels and sounds like I am running over bumps in the road.
Thank you for any advice.

Unless your ABS isn't working and you flat spotted a tire, I don't see it being anything else if it's related to this 60mph stop incident.

You should be able to pull up the DIC codes and see what's going on with the ABS. Check here -> http://www.stengel.net/diccodes.htm
Good luck!

Your braking system is HOSED!!!
You need to FIRST, read and post all of the DTCs using the onboard diagnostic routine in the DIC.
You MUST read the DTCs after you have take the car for a short drive and NOT turning the ignition OFF.
You most likely have a TON of old DTCs so, I would clear ALL of them, take the car for a drive and then read the DTCs. Report ALL of what comes back
If you have warning messages in the DIC, press reset till they go away.
Cant wait to see what DTCs you have...

OR, a broken shock. Get the car off the ground, high enough to check each wheel and suspension. Ball joints, tie rods out of adjustment. It could be one of many things. You have to get under it and take a look.
