Re: C6 Corvette

You need someone with a drive on lift, or a pit to drive over so you can check the exhaust while it's flat on the ground and in gear. I read a few guys complain about exhaust touching in places.

Re: Tiresmoke outside the matrix

Re: 1987 Corvette Z52

The alignment is now done and set to basically stock settings. The local shop, Federico Tire, has a good alignment guy there. The front is a little off because of the crappy bushings, but it's closer ...
