Default Just lowered and washed the Vette
Just got done lowering the Vette. Used some longer bolts from work for the rear and removed the front bushings. Car is less than 3in from ground.

Looks great.

I just did mine on my 98 Vette with new poly bushings and sway bars and about 1 1/4 drop or so and looks way better.

I took it to SanDiego yesterday. It rides pretty good. Its a lot stiffer now so you feel the bumps more but on the freeway its magnified a little. Oh well, its not a caddy. The handling improved and steering feels sharper though. I guess you have to sacrifice somethings to gain somethings. I would just be careful on the bad freeways if Im going fast. You dont wanna hit a big bump.

The cars is pretty stiff and it hasnt scrapped anything... yet. The car seems like it will bottom out the shocks first so its more bumpy. I gotta stay away from steep driveways and speedbumps though.
