Rear is lower than the front like its carrying ten bags of cement? Front tires seem to be narrow on the rims? Exhaust is hanging funny?

Don't make us guess!

The rear looks a bit low to me compared to the front. :crazy:

Not sure, But those are some fugly wheels.......:rofl:

Just kidding, I wish I had some of those....

no tires are fine lol ehhh tips are technically a lil "off"...

YES the rear is DEF lower... :(

Did ya bust the rear leaf or just haul'n a lot of @zz back there?

Someone forgot to paint it. :rofl:

I can stick my head in that front wheel gap.

well....

Man something f-ed up LOL. compare the gap in the sig to what it looks like now, i could stick to fingers between the tire and fender all the way around and now i cant even slide paper in lol. its not rubbing but **** its f-ing tucked in there boy!

I went on a cruise today and midway through something snapped/gave way. my endlinks are fine and so is my swaybar. I lowered the car a while back but after driving the car hard on several cruises I'm leaning towards my shocks failing but there is a possibility of my leaf failing/being bad too. the geometry of the rear suspension and it being lowered just put a lot of stress on the shocks or springs.


To compensate for the car being lowered i bought new shocks for it even before this happened. the car is going in the air and new shocks get here tuesday.

after some research lowered vettes must get new or better shocks and an alignment to account for the new stance/ suspension setup which i havent done, planned for but not executed till now lol

Since i lowered the car earlier this year i have noticed the quality of ride decrease and kinda noticed it get worse through time. but this is normal to experience according to the vette forums. u sacrifice a lil ride quality for stance/looks.

YUP. def the leaf. I raised the car and the leaf is craked down the middle. I'm still installing the new shocks and now a replacement leaf.

lmk if ya'll know of any good ones for sale

:ack: ouch that sucks! Probably a painful question right now but what does something like that cost :(

rear leaf springs arent TOO expensive from what I gather... should be able to snag a used one for less than $200. would you mind taking a pic of the crack in yours and posting here? I'm assuming its rather obvious to the naked eye, but i'm questioning whether or not mine is broken as well, as one side of my car sits about a half-inch to three-quarters of an inch lower than the other, and i can't adjust it out with via the bolt on that side... I was actually under the car today trying to figure it out, but it was getting dark and i didnt see anything out of the ordinary... not sure, but i have to get to the bottom of it ASAP. i just had my second flat on the rear in less than 5000 miles. had to leave the car 70 miles from home for a week waiting on a replacement to get here. not fun...

I have a base spring...

my was exactly the same way and no matter how i adjusted the bolts, nothing, still off. but now its broken. sure i can post a pic as soon as i have it off the car.

thanks tstar but i need a Z06 one

Slam that SUV! ;) ;)

Yeah I figured, thought I'd offer up anyway. If you decide on a cushy ride though, I have both! :lol:

Another BIG PROBLEM is that its not setting im my garage!:rofl::D:cheers:

Leaf spring
 

Check with karstuffs on ebay, I purchased a few quality parts from them over the past couple of years... I just looked, they have one from an 03' for less than $75.00, shipping & handling included. No I don't work for them, just a concerned fellow enthusiast.

Just to let you know... the rear '01 Zo6 spring is a one year only part. In '02 the springs got a little softer.

Not sure if that matters to you.
