@Smooth car is looking great!
this time i wasn't even that bad. he bought the car knowing it was lowered (badly in his own words), and then he complains about scraping. hell within 5 minutes of me driving the corvette off the lot, i drug the front end.... in the last 10 months, i haven't done it again because i learned the car

Ordered her a new ECU, finally. Hope to drive it for a few weeks before I have to store her away in the garage.

It could look worse.
That's cool. I was looking at one the other night. Keep us posted on how it's working out for you.

Pulled the driveshaft to start the trans pull. Before I pulled it, I rotated the wheels with it in gear, sounds like a load of junk rattling around in the bell housing

So far so good... Hasn't blown away or collapsed on the car yet... Only thing that sucks is getting the door flap open to get the car in and out.. Im going to rig up something to make it a one person job. But I haven't driven the car all week so hope its still in there.

Ummmm deff not normal... What is keeping the front end up? Post some pics. Some coilovers have springs hiding up on top of your shocks... (it is all one piece for the front) the spings fit around the shock.. If you dont see springs then .. Air bags? How does it ride?

Default reply on shocks only

I just bought the car and when I lifted up the car to do oil change this is all I found holding the front up and its hella bouncy in the front. Definetly going to go to local shop in town to get some coilovers because this doesn't feel or look right
