Welcome to the club! Did you lower it on the stock bolts? What size are your wheels?

I removed the lowering bolts completely up front, and shaved down the bushings on the rear bolts.

Welcome to the Vette Club and Congrats and nice Vette. It must ride hard the way you lowered it. I lowered mine about 1 1/4 all the way around and it rides good, any lower and it gets that bouncy fill.

Also if you dont know already alott of Vette Guys will wave at you, wave back its a Vette family thing.

Congrats again and you always welcome to come hang out with our club. We have about 8-10 Vettes in the club now.

It actually doesn't ride rough at all, it feels the same ride quality wise to me as stock. The only real difference it made is in the handling which was improved.

and yea the first day I got it a brotha' in a c6 vert was waving at me as I drove past him and I waved back

Iagree also welcome here man. Looks like after the LT headers with that aftermarket mufflers that is on the back the car will sounds alot better. Then the boost look at one of A/A systems for the boost it is one of the really good ways to go with the vette. 857 RWHP in my conv with the YSI unit and love it.You can get in the low 600 rwhp and still drive it does now until you go into boost.

Skips LTs and just buy the SC kit. HP per $$$ you're better off going this route then just doing exhaust later on.

I wish I had taken the money I spent on my ARH LT setup and put it towards an A&A kit. It would have paid for 1/3rd of it.
