Use dropped spindles and you maintain the original geometry...

Or maybe adjustable coil overs?

Air Ride?
It would be nice to have an airride lift for speed bumps and steep drives. I'll be interested to hear how it works out. Maybe some air ride company will get smart and address this. I can't believe that it's rocket science.

Almost bought it a couple of months back but its an automatic and whatnot. 100% custom suspension setup.
Its been in and out of the custom scene since 07 I think.
And depending airride can be smooth like a caddy.
Or stiff as a forklift.
It all depends on how you set it up.
And I dodnt see why you cant use a sleeve over shock type bag.

On our C1 59 Corvette I am running a Jimmy Myer Racing front and rear suspension(Ford 9 inch, 4 link system) with an E3 Ridetech Shockwave system with internal height sensors. Note, E3 display unit where clock usually resides on C1 console

Very pleased with it. I believe the ride is phenomenal, plus excellent handling.
For you other guys needing a bit of lift to get over speed bumps, driveways, etc. Perhaps these guys can help. I've seen it on Camaros and it looks like a great solution for many high performance cars that are tooooooo low in the front.
Company is Exotic Air lifter suspension. The product that I've seen ties into your shock somehow and then will allow you to raise the car a few,,,I think "3" inches,,,,, for the aforementioned driveways and speed bumps.
Contact them for more information. I've met the owner of the company at a couple of car events where they demo the product. Not certain if available for Corvettes.

If anyone should investigate Exotic Air further, perhaps you might share your findings on Corvette support.

its not rocket science..air ride can be adapted to almost any vehicle,car truck, motorcycle you name it..ridetech makes kits for individual apps..i doubt they know squat about anything custom,plus they are way over priced..they wanted 3500 for my 61 caddy and i put together my own kit with top of the line products for under 1600..dont get me wrong,not saying they are not a good company..call air assisted in canada..they one of the best companies out there..never heard a negative word about them..if it can be done they will let you know and help you in any way possible..

I have never bought a kit... i just buy the pieces and make or buy brackets.
You should be able to slam a vet with custom bolts then use air to lift it up.
Kits are way over priced... and never as clean.
