Update on the 4X4 Corvette

[Ryan536]

Hello again, I finally got around to replacing the front coils in the car. Here's a pic of what I took out and the new Eckler's Coils. The weird thing is that there was absolutely no difference in ride height after installing the new coils!!!!! I have been reassured that it takes awhile for the new coils to "break/settle" in.
Even if nothing happens it was a positive move because I found out my front shocks were completely shot (I compressed both shocks by hand and they didn't come back out!!!! ) so I put new shocks in - and stabilizers to boot.

Ryan- what sizes are your wheels and tires? Are they 15/255/60s?

The fronts are 245 60 15
The rears are 295 50 15
I am planning on buying new tires in the spring

Well, you are running tires that are about 83.6 (current sizes) inches to 85 inches (255/60/15). They aren't so much different that you'd really notice.

Yeah, I'd swap out the rear spring and put the longer lowering bolts on the outside ears.
