Default Thanks I got my answer, lock this thread.

I saw the shock install info for the C5 in another post. I thought it was in the Tech area so I did not print it out. I guess it was from someone's web site. Does anyone have the link for the shock install instructions :confused:


I've seen some really good How To instructions from members, but they are not posted here.... why not.... we need them. Thanks for any help, I'm going to install these this evening. :cheers:

That was a great write up, great pics. The install went very well. The most difficult part was the rear upper shock bolt that was in the back.... and compressing the rear shock.

My vette rides great :D . Nice and tight :D . Just in time for the summer :cheers:

Glad it worked out for you. :thumbs:
First install I did took many hours to muscle the shocks in there.
I developed that method after doing it a few times.
I figured I could save others the hassle.:cheers:
