• Got the Contributing Memberships stuff finally worked out and made up a thread as a sort of "How-To" to help people figure out how to participate. So if you need help figuring it out, here's the thread you need to take a look at -> http://www.corvetteflorida.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3581 Thank you, everyone! Rich Z.

Up she went

I've been busy today,Mary is cooking the bird and I tore apart the vette.Again.I bought new front mono spring riser,not sure the real name.It's the bolts on the front mono springs that lower and raise the front end.GM does not sell them so I had to get them made,they are slightly longer then the originals,but they are a direct bolt in.I bought them from Vansteel.com,one of the venders at the Cypress Garden show.First class company.:thumbsup:They we're 60$ a piece:ack2:But to buy the whole mono spring is around 500$,so I thought that was not so bad.The hard part was you had to completely take apart the front suspension,upper and lower control arms had to come apart,shocks and the brake line also came off.Also the tie rod end had to be taken off also.You also have to bleed the front brakes after you put her back together.



WARNING
To anyone who wants to lower there C-5,DO NOT CUT THE FRONT BOLTS OFF.:NoNo:You will have to do what I had to do this morning to raise it back up,not hard just very time consumming.4 hours.It's just easier to lower the car with the bolts or it will cost you 120$ if you cut the bolts off.The car rides great again and my Ant killing days are over.:lmao:

Classy, that line is way too easy a setup. Its Thanksgiving, so we'll give you a pass on this one!

Rob, what a pain in the arse. I want to put new suspension under the white car, shocks, bushings, etc. It's coming soon, and I ain't looking foward to it.
