If you drag the valance, you can raise the ride height on the stock bolts/suspension
Check out this link, as it seems to be across the board, C5, C6, and C7 Corvettes have similar bolts. Turn clockwise after measuring before and then after. You could have an inch or more of adjustment. To lower your car, turn counterclockwise.
When you supercharge your car, it adds weight, and this can sag the nose-end.

I’ve had to raise mine a tad. Still pretty low, but I also don’t want the standard Corvette 4x4 wheel gap.

Looks good, Jabcat
Did you have to realign the car once raised? Mixed opinions on that

Thanks! I think it’s such a small adjustment that it shouldn’t need to be re-aligned. I think I raised the front 1/2” maybe.

Mine does not sit that low. I don’t know if it’s been adjusted though.

The jury is out on the wheels yet. I’m not real sure about the paint. I have had some chips already, but I’ve also put over 6,000 miles on since putting the wheels on. Some of them mountain roads at glacier National Park had lots of debris and stuff on them. I still say UPS can go to hell. In the long run if the paint chips up too much I’ll put a set of forgeline on.

I hope you keep the Callaway Wheels. They are easy enough to refinish when needed. Understanding of the UPS saga though, what a pain that was!Rudevette wrote: ↑Sat Jan 01, 2022 11:33 am The jury is out on the wheels yet. I’m not real sure about the paint.

Great picture of the car in the Black Hills of SD. I was sorry I missed the 50th BHCC Event.
