Lowered on factory bolts part 2
We lowered the car yesterday on the factory bolts .75" in rear and .25" in front but after driving the car we lowered the front another .35"
Maxed out front & rear on factory bolts now.
Added tint and smoked the orange side markers
Custom Wheels, colored calipers and HORSEPOWER coming soon!

can I ask you to get a real good close up of how much gap is left?
thanks!
I read about leave some "rake" or the front end gets loose at speed - do you feel that?

Huge improvement visually! Stunning!
How is the ride affected? Does this car have MSRC?

You guys have got to be feeling like artists with a large pristine canvas now coated with your base titanium white

I think the white with black accents and wheels might be my favorite color combo - looks soooo much better lowered. I would probably paint the A pillar white. Can you take a shot of the front and rear now that it is lowered?
P.S. - like it better with the stingray badge removed also

Looks great... I see you removed the sperm... er.... Stingray from the fender. Do I spy missing "Corvette" letters on the rear? If so, can you take a shot of the rear to show it sans letters?
To those asking about rake. You want to maintain about 1/2" negative rake front to rear (front lower). Generally this is measured from the tie-down holes in each frame rail.

360 Forged, it is our new Premier brand for our shop, great quality wheels and awesome service.
We were a HRE Dealer for many years and that deal has turned bad
so we will now be using 360 Forged and Forgeline
