The vette has a few mods. Its setup for the road course

Intake, Exhaust, Tune.. probably good for another 50hp

Suspension: Pfadt Coilovers, Pfadt Swaybars. DBA Rotors, Hawk DTC 60/70 Pads. Spindle Ducts, Poly Bushings, and lots of Hoosier R6's

Another thing.. wich bums me out.. The mounting point for my upper control arms is too high.. fully aired out my UCA is level with the ground. not at an upward angle. Im going to have to do alot of measuring and drill a new hole and hope to god that its where it needs to be. I wish i knew of a tool that would let me drill a slotted hole like the stock UCA mount.. and wont F up the powdercoating

Alright.. well after jacking this thing up and down on the lift and scratching my head.. it appears i did something right and didnt even know it. So im going to leave the UCA mount as is. I thought that when aired out I would have too much positive camber. But to my suprise, When at ride hight or aired out the camber didnt change. But when aired fully up there will be some negative camber. not much

Aired up


Ride hight


Aired out
