Default Just lowered with H&R springs

Well dropped in to see my buddy Manny for a while and he added my new H&R
springs with front Z06 endlinks, PFadt adjustable rears and rear shock spacers.
I could not wait until spring!

I was going to add some Hotchkis sways like on my vette but decided to hold
off but the car seems to handle very well without them. Corners are tight and
body rolled is definitely less. H&R springs are a great product and quality.

Took a few photos of the install and the new final ride height, handles great and
love the new lowered stance Thanks Manny!

Next to go on is clear corners, clear foglights and new GM rims with Nitto NT555
tires that a patiently waiting in the basement.

Spring install.


Z06 endlinks installed.


Pfadt adjustable endlinks installed.


New Stance with rear Shock spacers installed.


Lowered around 1.2" front and 1" rear.

Looking good man. I got my H&R springs and MM spacers awhile ago and I'm itching to install them.

What rear spacers did you go with? The car seems to have a slight rake.

Got some off a guy here in Toronto by the name Nels. They are the donut style space 1" high
might make a longer version myself to kill the raked look or go with MM.

Copied from the spec sheet for the springs? I have a feeling that if you actually measured with a ruler before and after, you'd be surprised what the actual drop is.
