Vette(s): 1980 loaded red on red. 68,000 original miles. Second owner. Well documented with all original paperwork. NCRS Founders Award 9/27/14. NCRS Top Flight 10/12/14.
Just finished installing Eaton 9 leaf rear spring! What a difference in ride and handling. It is like night and day. I used the stock length bolts and it sits perfectly. I also had a set of the 8" bolts on hand in case I needed them to adjust height. If anybody needs a set of 8" bolts or two retainers let me know.
