Lowering The Vette?
My 97 vette has the ajustable ride control. I am looking at lowering it about an inch. I've heard that it can be done by removing a spacer or something?? Good? - Bad? - Instructions? - Thanks

I have a powerpoint presentation that shows how to do it if you want. E-mail me at superchargedvette@shaw.ca. Hotmail accounts will not work as the file is too big. :cheers:

Here is a link that I got from the "tech tips" section:
https://www.corvetteforum.com/techti...D=27&TopicID=1
When I lowered mine I wasn't able to get the front as low as I wanted so I had to do this:

And don't forget after you lower it drive the car for a few days or so to let the suspension settle and then get it aligned. Good luck :cheers:

I would like to get this power point presentation also, can someone contact me about it. I have the instructions on paper, but I would definitely prefer the slides.
