C8 Shop recommendations Northwest FL?
I’m looking to lower my C8 on either factory coilovers or possibly paragon performance springs. Anyone know of any reputable shops around Destin,FL or in the panhandle? I’m also willing to go somewhere in south Florida if necessary. Just want to make sure it gets done right.

Maybe try Vettes Unlimited, Not sure if they work on C8s. I’ve never used them, when I got my C5 I looked for a local vette shop and that shop popped up. Also might try asking the local vette club. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen a few Panhandlers on the forum. Definitely saw at least one other Destinite on the forum

Contact member AWARE02. He's in Niceville. I know he did his car. Not sure if he did it or the local dealer. I'm not a C8 owner yet so I can't help you. I definitely would if I could. Unfortunately we don't have much for Corvette specialty shops in this area. That's why I do my own work.

Paragon spacer installation
Old thread I know but I’m close by. Did you experience any issues after the install—such as fault codes, check engine lights, or lift malfunctions? I see the shop has a lot of experience with the C8 platform, but like you, I want to make sure it’s done right. Also, are you still in the area with your C8?
