Sleeper vette

I found some c6 z06 shocks locally. So thinkin of getting those and some aftermarket swaybars. Think that will work out very nice on the car. I might lower it a little bit on the stock bolts. I don't want the car to ride rough and scrap going into my driveway everytime I drive it.

These are the wheels I am looking at. I am not a chrome guy but I think the chrome wheels look better then anything else on this style red corvette.

Agreed on those chrome wheels looking much better, but would suggest going for a real OEM rather than a knock-off if possible (typically stronger while weighing less, plus looking more legit).

Definitely grab those C6 Z06 shocks, or just buy the brand new set from Steve Hill that he ordered but never installed on his C6 Z51. They go for a pretty fair price even brand new so it may be worth it to not bother with old/used/worn shocks.

I fully support lowering on the stock bolts. No change in handling or comfort, but much better looks. Which swaybars are you looking at? That would likely be another cheap upgrade you can snag off a C6...

Those wheels are the style I want to get. Not buying those wheel's since they are knock offs. I found some Hotchkis sway bars locally. So either get those or some c6 take offs.

OH! Got it, agreed on that style looking great a red C5.

I tried a set of Hotchkis bars on my C7 and tons of noise issues no matter how many times I reinstalled, retorqued, or regreased. I eventually ended up just taking them off and putting the stockers back on. Not saying all their bars will do there, but there is definitely something to be said for OEM simplicity.

I would definitely use all OEM stuff, so cheap these days.

Never knew you got into vettes, Paul! Cool stuff! I want another one too :)

Hopefully one I keep forever HAHA

Nice, I saw this on fb when it was for sale. Must have sold fast!

Well I found some c6 z06 wheels that I might pick up. They are painted silver. Wish they were chrome but I might plasti dip them black. Seen a couple pics with them black and they look good.
