After comparing the 75 I purchased to other C3 vettes I have realized that mine has a considerably taller ride height. I know that the rear spring has been changed over to a fiberglass one not sure of too much about it though the front also appears to be higher here are some pictures of it and a picture of the rear spring setup on there.. Any suggestions on how to get her sitting lower... Cause right now the back wheels don't even look centered in the wheel wells...

Nice looking vette! 
I saw one of your pics and have to agree that based off the wheel position the back end does look like it is sitting a little high. Do you know the manufacturer of the rear spring? I have heard others saying that the springs from TRW can make the back end higher. You may want to try longer spring bolts to see if you can get it to sit down a bit. As for the front, if you think its a little high, make sure the springs are seated properly and maybe check to see if a coil spacer was put in there at some point in time.

The longer rear spring bolts will take care of the back.

Longer spring bolts should remedy the problem. What length bolts are there now?
