Default MTI Racing Coilover Install

Mark has been bitten by the track bug and wanted to get his C6 Vette up to snuff. In comes MTI Racing with our Bilstein coilovers, Big Red sway bars, and stainless steel brake lines for a potent track car. The MTI Racing Bilstein coilovers are custom built, valved, and dynoed in house with all parts machined at MTI Machine's CNC shop. When installing a coilover suspension we also perform a full chassis setup for optimum performance and balance of the car. The chassis setup consist of alignment, ride height setup, and corner balancing the car. MTI Racing keeps a wide variety of spring rates in stock to get the car set up just right for the track or street. The MTI Racing Big Red sway bars are a must on any Corvette for improved handling and all around suspension performance. Less body roll equals more tire contact with the road for better handling and driver confidence. Stainless steel brake lines improve braking by transferring the drivers input to the Carbotech XP-16 friction surface more directly with less hose expansion over rubber. The old brake fluid was also flushed out using Wilwood 570 Hi-Temp fluid. MTI racing also installed a set of Hoosier R6's that will benefit the handling and braking of Mark's Corvette. To get everything shifting properly we also installed the MTI Racing Six Shooter Shifter for a more precise and smooth shifting action. The Six Shooter shifter will instill confidence on the track and street. No fear of missing a gear with the Six Shooter shifter.

Since the car was here Mark decided to do an oil change, diff service, trans service, and chassis retorque along with tech inspection for NASA and SCCA racing.
