Default Koni's & Polished C6's

Posting up pictures of the recent work! Can't see under the hood (yet, i'm not finished). Did the Koni & BMR's and put on Corvette C6's!

That looks great. The stance should settle some too, which will give it a lower look. Post up some more pics. I actually really like those wheels and I'm not typically a fan of OE wheels.

Car looks good. Simple but effective combo.

The shocks are 2 clicks from full soft. It road well with stock WS6 wheels and tires but when I put the C6's on, it started to show it's rough ride, especially in the rear. Hit's my catback sometimes and that's pretty annoying. I feel the tires slipping hard in corners before I feel any body roll, so from a cornering stand point it does very well, just a tad rough (not my DD so I don't mind one bit).

I haven't seen them on black so I've been nagging my buddy to let me fit them on mine to see how I like them. They look great, I think they would look even better in a gun metal. Personally I'm stuck between c5 or c6 wheels. Guess it depends on which ones I find in my budget first lol.

If I didn't find a Firehawk, I would be ALL OVER those C6 wheels on my car!!! Love the way they look and I usually don't care for stock wheels on any car...but I've liked the Vette wheels and luckily my Firehawk wheels are chrome too, so those were the only exception I made to myself and was committed to getting C6 wheels! Very nice man!
