I am taking the rear retainers out of the T/A and installing the spohn adj. PHR and getting ready to swap LCA's and also putting new front rotors on. So in the mean time I have these CCW 505A's laying around and a beautiful C5 out in the driveway... :idea:

What do you guys think? I think I'm gonna put the other 2 on the other side and drive the Vette this way for at least the weekend

I'd leave them on the Vette. Now you have an ultra-pimp ride

Leave 'em on. They look great. I agree with NineBall, lower the rear an inch.

Well, the tires on them right now are all 275/30/19's which is the equivalent of the stock f-body wheel/ tire combo. The Vette has 1" bigger diameter wheels & tires on the rear than the stock f-body does (fronts are the same tho). So if I had the cooresponding stock diameter tires in the back, it would look the same as the front.

The only reason I won't leave them on the Vette permanently for now is because I hate the way the T/A looks on Y2K's

I guess I'll just have to buy another set so they can both have CCW's
