C8 Corvette – I lowered it and now Corvette engineers will hate me!!!

Check out this video by YouTuber DeeperImage Automotive (AtlC8Corvette on Instagram) and how he lowers his C8 Corvette with a front lift with collars from Paragon Performance

Per his video on lowering the C8 Corvette

In today’s episode I lower my 2020 C8 Corvette using the Paragon Front Lift Lowering collars. It was not the hardest job but it was very time consuming and it took me nearly 6 hours in-between two days.

The hardest part was removing the nut on top of the shock as it had rusted out. I even broke the little magride connecting pins which I was able to solder back on. I would highly recommend some PB Blaster first a day before you do the work.

Also, you will need to bleed the front lift suspension or you will get errors. Overall I am very pleased with the final look once the springs settled back after driving. Looks and handles perfect!
