Thanks for this. We did the same thing so I will measure tonight. Question however, why replace the bolts? Just for a lower stance in the rear since the Z07 won't allow you to go lower than the standard Z06?

Hey...if I am subjected to moderation and getting my threads booted...then that's the game. Norcal owns more than one forum, he knows what he's doing damn well. If I'm gonna be subjected to IB's ****'ism, then game on. He already has his Z06 forum runnin, guaranteed. I'm all for capitalism, but I'm a car builder scorned on here...and I hate everybody.

Thanks for offer but I'm happy takin care of my customers thru other means I don't need to advertise all my corvette parts i sell here but thanks for being so concerned about me.

If I get parts and I don't use I do post them up in for sale section but im not pushing them in new threads saying hey look im selling brand x for this much. If i have new parts im not going tonuse on my car why cant i put them for sale?

As with my other forums I have no issues people selling but once you say I have blowout pricing or 10 sets of headers then that's different. Also I've helped many thru pms here with questions. If I was selling stuff via pms you would see people reporting me.

I'm just having a good time modding my car and helping others out, Just like my ported manifold thread. I do this car stuff on the side for fun my union job for the city is my main work. No big shop at all just a regular hot rodding guy working out of his garage like it's been for the past almost 20 years.


Btw sorry for your issue you had here. If mods have a problem with me saying" customers cars " while not offering any services to do any work please shoot me a pm. Don't need to get people upset on here
