Guest 1FASTC4 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Hey all. I recently did some extensive stuff to my c4. To save all the gory details suffice it to say that the engine weighs about at least 50 pounds less, there are new koni adjustable shocks, and new rims/ tires. Looking at the car, it seems like it DESPERATELY needs lowering. Please look at the pick below and tell me what you think. No need to sugar coat.Next question.Should i decide to lower it, does anyone know someone who could do it and do it well? I read a nice "how to" article and it is very doable but I just don't have the inclination. I just found out on the 16th thqat my wife is pregnant with 6, yes 6, children. FWIW there are two sets of identical twins in the oven and no-one has ever heard of this.... ever. Anyway, as you can imagine my mind is elsewhere and I'd just rather have someone else do it.... suggestions?Thanks much for all your advice/opinions.

Call Doug Bromley at Bromley's Performance Corvette in Chandler:(480) 390-2652He can lower it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1FASTC4 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Does it look like it needs lowering? I'm fearful that "It's just me". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think it's too high, then it's too high for you.I'd have to see the whole car before I could decide if I think it's too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice monster truck you've got there.But you may not want my opinion. On the last cruise I hit two spots and the car was so low that I smelled tire smoke. I think it was the tires rubbing the inside of the fenders at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie44 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 looks too high to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1EvilC5 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I would lower.If you decide to try it check the tech section on the corvette forum under the c4 section.Good luck with the 6 new ones.Phil... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donbecker Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Wouldn't it be 3 sets of twins? 3 x 2 = 6Anyways, yeah, it looks a little high, but what Bryan said, you don't want it to hit the fender. Is there any way to get the specs on the range of movement of the suspension? With our cars being fiberglass, I'm sure someone at one point has had a tire travel up thru a fender...

Guest 1FASTC4 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I really appreciate all your input. I'll call doug today.Don, there are different types of twins... I had to have my RN wife explain it to me.A group of multiples... 4 or more, is called super twins.OK, a pair of twins that comes from two different eggs/sperm are call fraternal twins.(very similar DNA but different)a pair of twins that comes from the same egg/sperm is called identical twins(they have exact same DNA)So among the 4 eggs in our case that are making babies, 2 eggs spontaneouly divided, creating 2 sets of identical twins. The other two eggs remained as "singletons" giving us a total of 6 in the oven.(oh my) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anmracing Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Is that your garage??? Man, it looks like it needs some cleaning.... You know if you left it that high, you could probably convert it to a nastalgic top fuel straight axle..... It does look kinda' high to me....Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
