Hi Bullet Time - You will have to remove the caliper maounting brackets - on my caliper-painting page we did not have to do that. Those bolts are on with 160ft-lbs (double check that but they are tight!) I used a craftsman 1/2 breaker bar and a good 6 point socket to bust them loose...

Hi BulletTime - Here is some info - it is really easy - no different than any other rear wheel disc that I have done. http://www.iammoon.com/c5tech/caliper_painting.htm I was able to remove the emergency brake cables just by hand - make sure it is in the released postition... Good luck...

cmaxwell - Yes, that is my motivation. I was just giving real world experience from my having lowered many C5 corvettes on my lift in my garage with no problems. WE did not have to "rebalance" each car, nor did the owners of the cars I have lowered (2 of them are MINE) spin off to a fiery...

Hi cmaxwell Sheesh man. Trust me. I know about high-falootin technical terms like "camber" and "degree", and I appreciate the schoolin' boss...... But In practice, in the real world, when GM sells a Corvette, it might be to the same person to whom McDonald's sold the scalding coffee. Not my...

Hi 68Roadster - I'll look in the service manual and see what it says - I was referring to the owners manual and video that came with the car when new. There is a ton of tutorials and "how to's" on the web about lowerg a C5 - Here's one - http://www.z06vette.com/diy_lower.php best...

Hi cmax - It really IS as easy as some make it sound. It if takes more than an hour, you are moving too slow. And I did have both cars realigned after the lowering - My 2002 Z06 with 19" rims all the way around required no adjustments per the dealer. The 1999 coupe with stock Z06...

Hi PeterG - I think the absolute best deal going is a Z06 take-off Ti system - it's like throwing the weight of a battery off the car, it's OEM GM equipment, flows better than the stock C5 setup, will last the life of the car and then some, and finally , it has four better looking round...

Hi mvvette97 - I have lowered several C5's - no F55 cars, but it really doesn't matter -there are four adjusters - one on each of the ends of the two transverse leaf springs and they are designed to be adjustable. No harm will come from lowering - and except for 1" less clearance, and a...
