Looks like a first-rate suspension shop, a car of that caliber deserves no less. l love that the owner is in the trenches turning wrenches, not sitting in the office all day bossing everyone else around. A humble guy who really knows his stuff. Good luck with the mod 👍🏽

I give you credit for trying things on your new E-Ray that almost no one is doing. Your Corvette is very expensive and I don’t know if I would be doing this because I would be worried about everything not working out and running into more problems down the road and voiding your warranty. Good Luck 🍀

Good update on your/my ERay (ha!). Glad you’re enjoying your vehicle. You should take a Fall trip up to Rocky Mountain National Park crossing divide and bring up 12,000 feet. Trail ridge Road is awesome my friend! Great content as you know in Colorado and heck might save yourself from bit of snow or ice!

I stopped lowering street cars in my 30's after ruinging too many cars with harsher ride and less ground clearance. High heels for men. P.S. same with loud exhausts which only draw more attention from the police when on it and what's the point of owning a performance car if you don't use the power.

Great Video..I love the stance.Are there any drawbacks to lowering the Eray.I read that the warrenty remains in effect.When pushed hard ,will it rub. anywhere? At speed does anything change? ? Is there any effect on the front wheel drive ? Can you give a ball park price on installation of the paragon kit on a 3LZ Eray with the ZER package with front lift ? Im in south FL.If i drive to u how long do you need the car for this install? Maybe make an little vacation ouy of it. Thanks,Steve

I like that lowered more aggressive looking stance but I’m curious about how much clearance in inches you lose for the front lift to still be effective
@dd93542 ай бұрын
I asked thus question before and the answer was the front lift works from where it's lowered. So in this case an inch and a half from the one inch lowered height.

Every car or truck i lowered did not ride as good as stock. I had a Saleen F-150 which had the lowering kit and it rode like crap. I even added adjustable shocks which helped a little. I will never lower a car agin nor will I buy a vehicle without adjustable shocks set up by the factory and can be adjusted by a switch. Especially here in NJ that has a lot of potholes and those damn manhole covers.

Hold up. The springs on the ERAY are SOFTER and when compressed looks like there will be rubbing. Wouldnt you switch SPRINGS first and then lower? I dont know, but it seems intuitive?
@BrinkofSpeed2 ай бұрын
@@thiosemicarbizidebenzoylal2921 That’s exactly all we did. The springs are what lowered it. It’s the only way to lower a front lift E-Ray.
