Well I'm back in the saddle of an LS-1! It's been several years since I sold my 02 SS. Still miss it. Anywho, I am picking up a 99 FRC Tuesday afternoon (the one pictured below), which brings me to my questions.

It is lowered, and the guy I'm getting it from says the bolts are cut. I test dove it, and in my opinion, I would like to raise it back up a tad. It even rubs on small pot holes (and in Arkansas, there are plenty!). Since the bolts are cut, I am in need of a new set, front and rear. Best place to get them? Brand, etc? Or should I just go to a Chevy dealer and see if they have a set of stock bolts? I still want it lowered, just not quite that much.

Thanks for the input!!

Oh, and is that color Light Pewter Metallic?


Oh, the Z06 badges are coming off. Bugs me to no end.

Unless Im mistaken, C5s need longer bolts to be lowered - so the fact that yours are cut shouldn't matter. Just tighten them to raise the car...

Light Pewter Metallic FRC...many faps.

Great looking car. He cut the bolts? I assume he bought bolts that were too long or just cut off any excess. You should be able to get the car down to stock or locate some stock bolts easily.

Congrats on the FRC.... I do Corvette work too (and I own one).

Longer bolts are not needed to lower, and if he cut them... well that was stupid because there is no reason to do so. Anyway, I see a few issues. Cutting them would mean he hacked off the hex end of the bolt (unless he just cut the pads down on the bottom which I bet is really what he did). *IF* the hex end is gone, that will be a pain.

I bet he did the pad trick, and you will be able to raise it up. It's a hunch since obviously I can't see the bolts.....
