  • springs

    ok, i have 18' c5 zo6 on the back and 17 on the front, i love it but it is sitting maybe a inch or two too high for my liking, i would like a little drop and some stiffer springs, but my question is, the way it is now when i hit a dip or somthing the rear tires rub my wheel well, so what would happen with a drop, but more stiff spring?

    Re: springs

    What size are the tires? I have a feeling you just need to get a lower profile tire. As for lower stiffer springs they would more than likely make your problem worse.

      My 18" rear Z06's w/ a semi low-pro tire are really close to the same size as my stock 16' and stock tires, there actually a little shorter

      Eibach pro-kit, look on summitracing.com, i think they have a package that comes with springs too

        Your springs affect the height of the vehicle.
        I recently added Canuck Motorsports springs to my '94 Bird. I have the same wheels as you (c5 17/18). It looks awesome!!!
