Default Jacking with ground effects ?

I think my first Mod with be to lower it all the way on the stock bolts, any special jacking instructions with Stage 3 Aero?

Thanks!

I'm interested in the answer to this too. Does a low profile jack go under the side splitters, what about if its lowered?

As with the ZR1, you'll have to roll up onto some boards to clear underneath the side effects especially on a lowered car. Not a big deal though.

My 01 Z06 was lowered on aftermarket bolts, and race prepped, I had to jack it by driving it up on wood ramps just to create clearance for a race jack.

On the C7, I'm not sure if it takes "pucks" or not. I'm sure once lowered, most jacks will be too high without using some sort of ramp to get under it.

I'm just not sure what the jack points are like and with the new ground effects how accessible they are?

The Katech guys have a double-stack jacking puck that is specifically designed for the skirts on the C6 ZR1 (Jason had it made after I suggested it to him ... ;-)) That puck should work just fine with the new Z06. It's long enough to actually hang below the line of the skirt, so you'll have to have the right kind of jack (or lift) to work with it.

Default 15mm extension for Reverse Logic jack pad tools.

Reverse Logic offers a 15mm extension for its Delrin jacking pucks. The extensions are available separately for customers who previously purchased the standard 28mm high tool.

The tool features a T-nut with a diamond-shaped shaft which can only be rotated 90 degrees in the tie-down slot.
