Default New Shoes and Lowered

It's been a productive weekend. Actually it was this past Thursday. I got the 18 inch AFS polished bullits with the Nexum 255/45 tires. I like the polished look better than the chrome. I think it goes better with sonic blue. JMO When I put the tires on, I put in the Roush rear lowering springs. This has made a big improvement in the stance of the car. Now it is riding level. I haven't had a chance to really check out the handling since it has been raining ever since I put them on. Today was a nice windy day but I alwayd use Sunday's to catch up on things around the house and on the Corvette. Here are some pictures of the car.









Here is a picture of the rear wheel. Notice the space between the fender and tire.



Here is a picture of the front tire. Notice the space between the frnder and tire is almost the same as the rear.



Here is a picture of both cars. You can really see how high the mineral grey car is comapred to the sonic blue car. Looks like darth vader is sneaking up.



Now all I have to do is wait for the CDC Classic Chine spoiler to get painted. Let me know what you all think.

Do you have to re-align your front end?

He didn't touch the front; rear lowering only.

What is the rear valance? Is it a swap from an 07 C/S?
