That's one thing I'm known for. My car is almost always clean (except recently I had an injury that prevented me from washing). I just washed it though. I clean my wheels twice a week.

TY sir. I think it's the absolute best height. I had it a bit lower in the front and higher in the back originally, my alignment guy fixed it when I got it corner balanced/aligned. P.S. Black Vette's are my favorite.

just washed mine today too...

I did the same thing with my 199's, cleaned them 2-3 times a week...clean the wheels on my Vette 2-3 times a week now...

it can be hard to get a good drop on the E9X...not enough and you can't tell, too much and you're tearing up tires..I really like the drop I got from the Vogtland spring/ Koni FSD combo I used, dropped it just over an inch...

You're about the Black Vette, it's the only way to go...

Now that being said I almost ordered a Yellow one, the C6 Corvette's are one of the few cars that can pull off Yellow, on the Z06 it really brings out the bodywork....

How did you like your konis? I'm thinking about getting a set over the KW V2's

Koni Yellows = KWV2

that's a good description...I like how the FSD's tightened up the suspension without making it too harsh...good middle ground between the stock sport suspension and KWV2....IMO

My understanding is
FSD/KWV1 = Just shocks
KWV2 Yellows = Adj. dampening
KWV3 = Adj. dampening + rebound.

KWV2s aren't harsh though. I think the V2s can be even more cushy if you adjust them to the softest settings. They give you more options (along with the Koni Yellows).

FSDs are cheap though, I don't think they are bad at all, just like the V1s, they are a lower cost alternative. I just like the idea of buying a spring that is perfectly matched to a shock (designed to work together based on valving and spring rates). Is your suspension modded on the Vette (C6?)?

not yet, but I'm seriously looking at FSD's for it. I'll seen alot of great feedback on the way it improves an already awesome handling car. Seems to be a popular suspension mod for it.
