Pair it with a Zebulon front splitter and our quick release system, and you have a streetable track car with a 1.94:1 L/D ratio. There is no more powerful aero package available for the C8 Corvette. By a factor of 2. Period.

There's a lot to unpack, so click here to learn about all of our C8 Aerodynamic offerings

C5-C8 Monoball Control Arm Bushings

If you're looking for slot-car like handling for your Corvette then a set of monoballs is probably the best money you can spend on your car. The car is transformed and so much easier to drive on the limit. We use the best materials available and custom fit each part to your YOUR control arms. All you have to do it send them to us and we take care of the rest, and return shipping is included.

Follow this link if you would like to turn your car into a race car.

C5-C8 Ultralow Seat Mount

This is the lowest, strongest, safest billet seat mount available for the Corvette. It will put your seat on the floor if needed. Using this mount with the Sparco QRT-R seat I gained almost 2 inches of head room over MTI rails with a Sparco EVO. Our integrated sub belt takes the guess work out of installing your 5 or 6 point harness. Not only that but it will survive an 85G mostly-rear impact. This seat mount saved my life and it can save yours too - just hope you never need to find out!

C7/C8 Titan Tow Hooks

Made from 7075-aluminum and hardened 17-4PH stainless steel, this US-made aerospace-grade tow hook could actually tow a space shuttle. So it'll look bitchin' on your street car or pull you out of a tire wall easy peasy.

Prepare for launch here

C5-C8 Adjustable Camber Kit

The product the launched our company is available for all C5-C8 Corvettes. If your car sees any serious track time than a camber kit is virtually required equipment. Set your alignment once and never worry about it again. Everything is USA made and guaranteed for life.

For more info on C5 and C6 camber kits follow this link. For the C6Z/ZR1 head over here. To solve problems for all C7s head this way.My C8 peeps should take a look seeright here

Differential Mounts - C5 and C6

Mitigate wheel hop and stop your trans from flopping around during hard cornering with our offerings for the C5 and C6 Corvettes. Rather than knocking off the same product that everyone else has for the last 15 years, we came up with fresh and updated designs to address short comings from competitors. These billet pieces firm everything up without a huge increase in NVH and they are guaranteed for life.

For the C5 check this out and for the C6 check that out.

X-Wife Drop Spindles for C5 and C6

Combine GSpeed design with AMT Motorsport manufacturing and what do you get? The best God-damned drop spindle on the planet that's what! Machined on our 5 Axis CNC, they start out as 70 lbs blocks and wind up as the 6.5 lbs beauties you see before you. Available in plain finish or your choice of anodized colors.

C4-C7 Wheel Spacers

We offer 4 different sizes of wheel spacers. Our 1/4" spacer uses the lip of the stock hub for centering and can be used with stock length studs. Our 3/8" spacer pushes the wheel out a smidge further but the ring on the hub is no longer effective. We recommend going to the 2.5" ARP studs if you're using a 3/8" spacer. We also offer 3/4" and 1" spacers with a machined lip for centering. These spacers should use the 3.25" ARP studs.

For 1/4" and 3/8" spacer head this way. For 3/4" and 1" go that way.

C5/C6 Vulcan Motor Mounts

These mounts are now on their third variation and better than ever. A single bolt keeps your motor from moving fore and aft, while vulcanized rubber dampens the vibrations so they're not as harsh as solid mounts. We now use a hard anodized 6061 center section to keep the 2 rubber pucks in each assembly where they belong. Make no mistake these mounts do not feel like the pillowy soft oil-filled gushiness of the stock mounts. You are definitely going to feel more of the engine with these mounts, but your 350 lbs lump of a motor will not be moving all over your engine bay either when performance driving.

Follow this link to order yourself up a set of motor mounts

C5-C6 Extended Gas Pedal

Our product makes heal/toeing your C5 and C6 Corvette a breeze. It's a cheap and effective mod to increasing your driving enjoyment and I guarantee you'll love it or I'll give you your money back.

C7 M80 Adjustable Toe Links

After selling a different product for a number of years, we've decided to start making our own version of adjustable toe links for all C7 Corvettes. The previous product had fitment issues with various parts and quality issues with the heim joints. Trying to work with the supplier to correct the issues wasn't getting anywhere, so in order to best serve our customer base, we came up with the AMT Motorsport M-80 Toe Links which use 7075 aluminum, 17-4 PH pins, and FK Heim Joints for the strongest and longest lasting toe links on the market.

Head here to snag a pair.

Thanks as always for the support!

Rock guards for Eray

C8newbie77 — Tue, 19 May 2026 13:41:55 GMT

Good morning!

wanted to hear your thoughts on which rock guards worked and looked best between Paragon Performance versus ACS. The paragon ones are few hundred dollars cheaper albeit a little wider or more noticeable.

cheers!

If you�re looking for an Eray�.

Jumbo09 — Sat, 16 May 2026 20:04:22 GMT

Not sure if this post is allowed, please delete if it isn�t.
I went by my local dealer today to tell them to take me off their ZR1 list since I already got my allocation with someone else. Anyways, saw this beautiful Eray specd very similar to how I ordered my ZR1. I think they�re eager to get rid of it so if you�re in the market, there may be some room to negotiate. I have no incentive with this dealer or salesperson, but figured I would just share in case someone is on the search and I really think Ryan the salesman is a nice guy and knows corvettes. Sorry I didn�t take a window sticker photo.

Front tire tread remaining??!!

diitto — Sat, 16 May 2026 02:42:56 GMT

My 2025 Eray was purchased with the Michelin summer tires... I am just shy of 4,000 miles and I'm thinking the 275's on the front are getting sort of close to the tread ware indicators. I will make a measurement tomorrow to get a better number but I'm thinking these tires might not make much past maybe 5,000 miles... Rears are somewhat better... Anyone have experience with how long the original tires lasted on their Erays??? thanks...

Cold Hard Facts About The GSX Availability

Ltngdrvr — Fri, 15 May 2026 21:27:09 GMT

Here is Rick Conti, telling the truth about GSX availability.

Does your PPF bumper have spliced seams?

REDCON1 — Fri, 15 May 2026 16:05:33 GMT

Got my Eray ceramic coated with PPF for front bumper/hood/headlights. Because of the angles of the front bumper, they told me there would be seams in places the PPF couldn't be stretched. They did a pretty good job on the bumper but was a little bummed to see a small gap at the center point of the front bumper (below the flags). I guess it would help if I had a pic but the car is at home right now. I was told that is how the computer cuts the film. Just wondering if all PPF bumpers are cut this way. The attached photo is pre PPF but the yellow lines show the area I"m talking about. The gap is about 1/8 inch in size.

Anyone know if you can get the visible carbon fiber package (high wing dive planes) like the

Eray Gift Arrived today

Strake — Thu, 14 May 2026 20:10:47 GMT

It appears that GM went back to providing the speed model in Painted body color for the Eray gift in lieu of the Clear model as provided for 2025, which depicts the engine and electric motor / battery. Don't know what was given out in 2024. Don't know if all the 2026 vehicle gifts went back to painted to match colors or if it was a mid year change. Bean counters..... at it again ! They likely spend a fair amount for the fancy black presentation box and packaging.

Mine arrived today. Car was delivered late November, 2025. I'm still very appreciative for the gift !!!!

Safety recall May 2nd.N252541250

Another Twin Turbo E-Ray by Cicio Performance

Cicio Performance — Thu, 14 May 2026 15:36:53 GMT

Another twin turbo E-Ray headed home from Cicio Performance #anothaone

Figured I�d share another one of the E-Rays we recently finished up at the shop. Randy�s Hysteria Purple E-Ray just left with our C700 Package and this thing came out MEAN. The titanium tips against the purple paint look insane and the car sounds mighty aggressive.

Randy's C700 Build Highlights:
� Cicio Spec Intercooled Twin Turbo Kit w/ Titanium Tips
� Custom Xona Rotor Turbos
� Dodson Superstock Clutch Upgrade
� Cicio Spec Catch Can
� Sport Cats
� Cicio AFM / NPP Exhaust Modules
� Dodson Box
� Cicio Custom Tune via HP Tuners

Best part? Randy picked the car up here in Florida and drove it all the way back home to Texas without a single issue. Just smiles per gallon the entire trip� and apparently one modified Trackhawk got left staring at taillights somewhere along the way 😅

This is exactly what we aim for with these builds: a car that�s brutally fast, sounds incredible, drives great, and can still be enjoyed on a real road trip.

Huge thanks to Randy for trusting us with his E-Ray build. We truly appreciate the opportunity and are excited to see him enjoy the car!

Ughhh: no carbon fiber steering wheel for GS & GSX

G352C6 — Thu, 14 May 2026 12:34:20 GMT

I wanted to share a quick observation about the GS and GSX trims�looks like none of them come with a carbon fiber steering wheel. It seems GM has taken a more budget-friendly approach on this one. While it�s not a huge deal, it does add another item to the growing list of mods. Just thought I�d mention it in case anyone else is keeping track of upgrades or planning some customizations.

1LZ E-Ray vs. 1LZ GSX

Tonylmiller — Thu, 14 May 2026 00:07:25 GMT

I just saw that the 1LZ GSX will not have HUD. It's this official?

This wil make the difference in base price more significant, if they are removing equipment.

Is there a good comparison of the equipment groups between E-Ray and GSX?
