Also Randy we are lucky this dealer seems to be ok, but I had heard Mall was pretty good and all the corvettes go there. So it is a 2nd choice if we need it.....Do you have the lifter tap in the morning?

The second picture is what mine looks like when it was done. Speed stopped over last night to show me and it looks like mine now. As for the LCA's they look like the old one's but shinier.Originally Posted by texn884

Glad that everything is going so well!
Listen out for that pop noise on bumps. I had that problem after my spring install, the upper and lower spring mounts have to be clocked a certain way or you will get a poping sound. There is a tab on the upper spring mount that has to be in line with the swaybar endlink mount on the strut.

Speedracer .. please forgive me I used some of your symptoms at the dealer yesterday LOL! ..Dealer told me today he will reconsider on the LCAs they will need to order the parts. My collapsed struts are still not being considered ..says the height is normal but the discoloration on my white paint to brownish just proves the friction and them heating up is making them pretty hot.
As for tire settings .. Sitting at 37 & 39 warm right now after driving just under 10 miles.
Granted I have 20s not 19s so the cold reading will be different from what it states on the car.

I just got back from visiting my friends at the dealer. And with reading this thread, it reminded me and i ask about the mounts. Come Monday new mounts will be ordered. And most likely bearings, as they seem to fall apart mostly always.

The collapsed bushing would make the car sit a little lower in the front. When I had mine done and I also saw this with Speeds car, before I could just about get 3 fingers between the tire and the fender now I can get 4 fingers between easily. So I would say the car was raised about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch.
