    I added their shock collars for lowering with my front lift as well as the wheel spacers. Total transformation!

      Hi since you have the Front Lift, which means that you don't want to scrape the front end, does lowering it affect the front end even worse?

    Those are some great additions to the car! Now all I need is a C8 🙃

    Did that &7500 include labor and if not what was that cost for this vehicle?
    Have the blackout film from u guys and thinking about some of the other stuff as well.

    Quality shop. Nicely done! I ordered your radiator protectors 3 weeks ago and no follow-up when they will be shipped. Your mirror conversion is tempting but looks to be a difficult self-install. I want to get familiar with your service before venturing deeper. Fortunately, I got the complete oem aero package on my Z51. Silly question: your exhaust system...heat protection and can exhaust noise still be adjustable?

    • @ParagonPerformance
      @ParagonPerformance  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Our Grill Guards are currently on a pre-order basis. I checked your order number and your sets will be shipped with the late April batch!
      As for our exhaust, no heat protection is necessary. We designed it so there is no interference with any parts. Noise is not adjustable as it is a non valve system.

    Nice! Can't wait to bring in my Rapid Blue HTC hopefully end of June when it arrives! Awesome videos fellas! I drove by your new location and saw some exterior work still being done, when is your move-in date? Would love to swing by and meet everyone

    Do the wheel spacers add any extra load on the wheel begs. Also does wheel alignment change and have to be done over again.
    Very nice products. 👍👍👍

    • @ParagonPerformance

      Wheel spacers will not cause your wheel bearings to fail prematurely. As long as the application is correct for your specific vehicle, you will have no problems. Our spacers were designed specifically for the C8 Corvette. A alignment is not necessary for wheel spacers.

    Do you only need the wrenches to adjust the rear coil-overs, or do you need to use a spring compressor?

    • @ParagonPerformance
      @ParagonPerformance  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      It can be done without a spring compressor. You just have to use some muscles 💪

    I'd like to echo Larry's question below. Do you guys do any internal testing or consultation with GM regarding the increased loads the wheel spacers may add to the steering/suspension, and the effects on performance? I love the way they look, but I sure don't want to damage anything on the car. I'm so close to buying them but want to be sure. Also, if you guys would provide "corrected" alignment settings for street and track with the spacers installed, that would be really cool too! Just a suggestion, and awesome video!

      We have tested our 20mm spacers on and off track times with no issues. Wheel spacers will not cause your wheel bearings to fail prematurely. As long as the application is correct for your specific vehicle, you will have no problems. Our spacers were designed specifically for the C8 Corvette.
      A alignment is not necessary for wheel spacers.
      These are the Track Alignment Specs Per GM -
      Front (per corner)
      . Caster: +8.0 degrees
      . Camber: -3.0 degrees
      . Toe (total): 0.1 degrees toe in
      Rear (per corner)
      . Caster: 0 degrees
      . Camber: -2.5 degrees
      . Toe (total): 0.1 degrees toe in
      . Thrust Angle: 0 degrees

    Can the suspension be lowered with a non Z51 set-up but front lift?

    • @ParagonPerformance
      @ParagonPerformance  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Sure can. You would need the kit below to do it.
