I'm in the process of rebuilding by 1985 C4 Corvette right now. I wanted to do a LS swap, but got talked out of it due to the cost, so I went the 383 stroker route. Replaced the suspension with coil-overs and replaced all the brakes, I didn't drop it on its guts like that, I just didn't want the hassle of a lowered car. Great vid btw.

[@etwasbauen6615]

Thats cool. Thanks

Finally a way to custom coil overs a c4, i have my 91 on stands simi taking apart for intake gasket leak and just snow balled from there. But this is something i need to do asap. I got a deal on some original 93 American racing 17s for the zr1 model and there so nice the back are 11s so the pock out need to get me some grandsport fender accents. So much to do just stopped but these are the vids we need more of on youtube or at least a channel deticated to the c4. I want to build my l98 to be as good or better the all the LS swapped ones you see.

Trying to figure out the way your car sits as compared to mine as it sits with my modifications. BUT I WILL DEFINITELY BE ORDERING THIS SET-UP ALSO. I would just like to know because I'm not certain if I will be wanting it as low as yours as I will try to get into a sweet spot where I don't get driveline-angle vibrations. I also am going to try to fit a 275/19 C6 rim on the front as it is an inch wider than the 18" rim, and since I have a set kicking around I thought WHY NOT!?? LOL THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR INPUT.

Pretty ingenious suspension mods! I don’t really want a Vette that low because I don’t want to worry about clearances to the pavement. However I like your ideas. Q: How are the squeaks and rattles now that you’ve mod’d out the suspension as well as the interior seats? Are they noticeably quieter? Or, do you still have stuff that makes noise? Thanks for your time.

I do autobody at home on the side make some extra money should have my 1984 painted Electric blue before the end of June have some motor work want to take care of before I start painting it. Gaskets and vacuum lines I Ordered the Air Idle control valve lmao the 85 and up its only like 40 dollars for my 84 its $130+ I am doing my car in single stage electric blue just to get it painted. but later on, few months down the road I am going to sand it and clear coat it for a deeper look. probably do 3 heavy coats of clear then sand 1 layer off and wet sand and buff it.

[@loouuiiee445]

Good video👍 I have a 1986 vert. This was something I thought about doing. I’ve always read mixed opinions about going from the leaf springs to coils, because many people say that the chassis and suspension geometry is not meant to support the weight all on the shock mounts. I’ve also seen a lot of people say that you’re ruining the car because the chassis was built to handle the best with leaf springs. Should I really be concerned about anything like that? Or is this my sign to throw those coilovers in?

Hi they are cambered in maybe 2 degrees. they are 18 x9.5 with 35mm off set. i have spacers in the rear too and they tuck all the way around.

if you have a later C4 (88-96) you need more offset, because they changed the suspension geometry in 88.

@@kaldarleifar so follow up... I did some "investigating" and found that the shop who did the alignment used a ton of washers for the upper control arms. it's almost an inch of them. going to see if I can get someone else to look at it, but that would put my wheels back to fender flush

[@TheUltimateGhostface]

I just want to say that the C4 corvette is by far my favorite generation of all the Corvettes with pop up headlights !! more specifically starting with the 1985 C4 when chevy ditched the ' Cross Fire ' injection in favor of the TPI- Tuned Port Injection . And the cut off for my personal liking is 1989 which was the last year of that super cool 80's digital dash. I couldn't care less If the later generations are faster or whatever . As far as the newest generation Corvette with its amazing sounding naturally aspirated mid engine goes , I really dislike how the current gen Corvette looks . To my eyes it's too gimmicky like it's trying to look like a super car, too much plastic , spoilers , vents etc . The current gen Vette is a amazing sports car I just think there ugly. But the C4's are just right . I always loved the clam shell hood revealing that awesome TPI set up , the targa top and it's over all simplistic but aggresive looks . As far as your wheels and tires I think they look great on your C4 . My only concern is being that the center of the wheels are steel instead of forged aluminum or magnesium is the weight are they heavy ? And then there's the right height altho the stance looks great but the tires are actually tucked under the fenders does your set up scrub badly during hard cornering ? Anyway I would keep your C4 enjoy the hell put of it and don't care what others think . It wouldn't take much to squeeze another 50 to 75 reliable horsepower out of your C4's 350 TPI . I used to have a charcoal grey c4 a 89 back in the day I miss it .
