Default C6 with 20" 360 forged and extras!!!!!!

THIS 2008 BEAUTY HAS Z06 REAR FENDERS CONVERTION KIT, 360 FORGED SPEC FIVE 20" X 13.5" IN THE REARS AND 20"X 9.5" IN THE FRONTS...PICTURES WAS TAKEN BY 360 FORGED TEAM.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/360forg...23334/sizes/l/


TIRES ARE NITTO INVO 265/30-20 FRONTS AND 345/25-20 REARS SUPPLIED BY 360 FORGED.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/360forg...24458/sizes/l/

A LOWERING BOLTS KIT WAS ADDED. CAR DROPS ALMOST 2 1/2" INCHES DOWN..LOOK, THIS IS MY FAVORITE PIC.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/360forg...n/photostream/

HEADERS AND ZL 465 PERFOMANCE PACKAGE BY SLP PERFORMANCE WAS ADDED. SOUND SYSTEM UPGRADED TO INFINITY SPEAKER COMPONENTS IN REARS AND INFINITY KAPPA FOR DOORS. AN 10" INFINITY BASSLINK II POWERED SUB WAS ADDED IN TRUNK. FACTORY RADIO WAS KEPT AND IT SOUNDS TERRIFIC!!!!. I'M USING MY IPHONE 3G WITH PANDORA RADIO CONNECTED TO MY CAR...I GET THE MUSIC I WANT THRU THE WEB...NO XM SUSCRIPTION IS NEEDED!!!!
FRONT RPI CHIN SPOILER AND WIDTH REAR SPOILER FROM GM ARE IN PROCESS. I GOT FIRST 20" RIMS AND 12.5" FORMY REARS FROM 360 FORGED, BUT I DID'NT LIKE THEM. TIRES AND RIMS WERE OUTSIDE FENDERS CONTOUR, SO I DECIDED TO UPGRADE TO Z06 FENDERS. DIFFERENCE IS CLEAR!!!!! CAR LOOKS LIKE A MONSTER AND PEOPLE ARE IMPRESS WITH MY CAR. ZL465 EMBLEMS ADD A DISTINTIVE LOOK AND SOUND TO MY CAR. FENDERS EMBLEMS ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TO ANY YOU CAN SEE IN THE MARKET. FRONT CHIN FROM API DESIGN AND REAR FROM GM ARE NOT EXPENSIVE DETAILS AND YOUR CAR COULD HAS PRETTY MUCH A ZR1 2009 LOOK. I'LL ADD SOME PICTURES WITH THE SPOILERS AND SOUND SYSTEM WHEN FINALLY BE READY. I'M WORKING ON THIS. ENYOY IT!!!!!!!!
FIND MORE PICTURES FEATURED BY 360 FORGED TEAM....THANKS GUYS

ok i see you changed the post so it no longer says "eibach" thats a good thing cause they dont make a whole lot of parts for the c6 if you catch my drift. next question is what was changed about the springs? i get it with the lowering bolts but springs too? what was your reason to change them and what did you put on in place. btw your car looks great. now lets see if you know what you are saying

I'm not an expert, but with spring car goes lower than before.....lowering bolts has a limit level by default. When I changed wheels, gap between my fenders and tires was too much, so my performance shop orders the springs(I think is from eibach) to get lower. After that, we got the right looking for my vette. Now gap is like 1/2". I'm really happy with that...

I hope I'm wrong...but it sounds like someone sold you a bill of goods,there are no "lowering" springs for a Corvette...you just trim the lowering bolts.

Im just using lowering bolts and mine is just as low. Honestly if someone sold you springs you got ripped off. Other than that car looks great.
