I replaced the upper and lower control arm bushings, reinstalled the springs, took it for a short ride before I tightened down the end bolts but now it still looks a tad high. 

 Thoughts ?

  BTW, before you say it... yes the springs are seated correctly.

You better stop telling us how good the paint is.   You might get a rock chip on it.   That we don't need until I see you at Skyline. 

Enjoy the vette.   Put the hammer down!

Jim, If you are refering to me.   I can't make it.  I have another trip I'm going on with John / Rex Rudy from CorvetteForum.   

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/showthread.php?t=1327065& ;forum_id=40

It's only a small drive from my place.   The Waterside is a 4 hour drive.   I will try next year.   That event sounds really fun to do.
