New C6 owner
Hi all,
Got a C6 as my midlife crisis post divorce splurge.
2006 Base Model. 6 speed manual. Black
Absolutely loving it and have decided to slowly work through it. It is a daily driver so keeping it road capable.
I started with Brakes and just put on the Willwood Aero6 brake kit. Super smooth. I do the work myself. I am doing tires and wheels next.
I am very open to suggestions. Trying to decide if I need to go ahead and put bigger wheel studs on the front and rear. It’s a bit of a pain but while I am deep in all of the wheels I may as well get it done? Thoughts on that? The bearings?
Great to meet everyone
