Got the mods installed 374RWHP/375RWTQ!
LGM Pro LTs, CCW C140, Stoptechs, Pfadt shocks, K&N CAI, Poly anti-roll bar bushings.
MC Racing in KS City installed all the goodies and mated the LGM pro long tubes and high flow cats to my Borla X-pipe, tuned it on a Dynojet dyno. I have the new Michelin Pilot Sport run-flats. Its been raining all day so it's hard to report on how well it all works but I can feel the power and handling improvement. Mike the Powdercoater changed the Stoptech brakes from red to silver. The CCW are Z06 size with the proper offsets of course. The front sticks out just a tad. Had ALL the fluids replaced and the oils were replaced with Amsoil, it does shift smoother. It is very loud through the Borla stingers now, I will be buying some Borla touring soon. Pfadt upper shock mounts and LGM spindle brake ducts left to install.

What coating did you put on the headers? A little more camber will fix your front wheel/tire "issue"?
Overall it looks fantastic... the big brakes and CCWs looks stellar... needs to be lowered a little though.

I'm going to wait for the shocks to break in some, the air dam is still only 4 inches off the ground. My Z06 was lowered and it was a pain, this one may just stay stock and on a black car it's just not as noticeable. I love the CCW wheels! Don't want any more neg camber as these are expensive tires and I want them to last as long as possible. |

Negative camber isn't a big deal... you can't rotate tires on a Corvette anyway. It's toe that eats tires in a hurry.
I don't quite understand doing your type of mods, but not lowering it w/ the stock adjusters and getting a performance allignment.

I'm going to get the alignment checked but lowering is not worth the hassle to performance benefit for me right now. There is no track near, and if I do some auto-x it will just be for fun and not to win a trophy.

If you don't mind me asking, what were your numbers before the mods?
