Rims suit the Car - nice !!

Thanks, I like it! I'd like to lower the rear a touch more. I set the height as per the Vette Improvement Program with the inside u joint 1/2" higher than the outside u joint (and the argument given, about change in toe, makes sense to me), but I notice that Duntov recommend on their website to have the half shaft level. Anyone have any thoughts on which is preferable? I'm not sure whether to just lower it half an inch (as per Duntov) or wait until I feel like modifying the diff crossmember and keep the height as is for now (as per VIP).

Alignment is only rough at this stage, but the car drives a million times better than it did before. I actually think the rear suspension was the biggest influence, despite it feeling more like front suspension/steering issues.

looks goods suit the car  :thumb:

Thanks Jethro! I lowered the rear a touch more, maybe 1/4", but still have the inside u joint higher than the outside. No scrubbing whatsoever front or rear, drove it quite a bit today, though cautiously given the weather. Drives a million times better than when I bought it, it's like a completely different car.  :cheers::drag:
