Anyway...all that said...holy fucking fuckery fuck. That things looks amazing on those new wheels. Enjoy it in great health, my friend.
I misspoke a bit. Also posted in the CTS-V thread.

In the 2G CTS-V world, Eibach springs are pretty much plug and play, though some people cut the front springs for a more even look. No issues with Stabilitrak.

D3 springs were out first in the 2G CTS-V market, and they had issues with Stabilitrak and magnetic ride errors. This was fixed with rods that assured compatibility with the magnetic ride system.

Sorry to have confused.

I hear that Jeremy. For now, it's staying the way it is. I do not have any plans to further lower this Stingray.

^^^^ Hey Austin! It's about time you got here. Yes, Anil said the same thing. I actually didn't plan it that way, but yes, they're VERY close to the Aventador's.

I'm still waiting for the red seatbelts. I've called the Vendor all week this week-no answer.

I haven't given him any money yet. But he said he has all the everything! He just has to have his seamstress sew the seatbelt together, mount them on the OEM hardware, test them out and then ship them to me.......that's all.

Whoah...what? You sold your stock wheels? I'm shocked. I won't miss them, but you seem more prudent than that.

Yes, I threw them on on CorvetteForum.com and had three people inquiring about them in just a couple of days. I sold them for the same amount that I bought the XO Veronas for!

Those wheels complete that car but for some reason, in the pic below the dipstick, the fronts look small

Gorgeous, gorgeous car though, makes me want to get rid of my wife and get one.

Which ones did you buy?

The billet ones are a bit pricey at ~$90 a symbol. Some of the others are cheaper.
