Finally someone makes a more detailed video on this 🔥 you should make another video with links to the parts you used, I just bought an 89 and want to do something similar
@@etwasbauen6615 Hey Etwas thanks for the video, even though you say theres more room on the late models with this work on a 91? Have a cart of your same parts, wondering if it will work. Thanks.
This channel is gold for the c4 one of the few people consistently pumping out videos for the c4 platform, amazing work and videography from the very start keep up the great work.
I'm in the process of rebuilding by 1985 C4 Corvette right now. I wanted to do a LS swap, but got talked out of it due to the cost, so I went the 383 stroker route. Replaced the suspension with coil-overs and replaced all the brakes, I didn't drop it on its guts like that, I just didn't want the hassle of a lowered car. Great vid btw.
Great video! FINALLY!! A coilover video for a C4!! Looks great! Question....what is your measurement at the front of the rocker LIP bottom to the ground and at the rear rocker LIP to the ground. Trying to figure out the way your car sits as compared to mine as it sits with my modifications. BUT I WILL DEFINITELY BE ORDERING THIS SET-UP ALSO. I would just like to know because I'm not certain if I will be wanting it as low as yours as I will try to get into a sweet spot where I don't get driveline-angle vibrations. I also am going to try to fit a 275/19 C6 rim on the front as it is an inch wider than the 18" rim, and since I have a set kicking around I thought WHY NOT!?? LOL THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR INPUT. I AM SUBSCRIBED(today) I ALSO HAVE A C3 convertible I'd like to do the same. Have you done this model too?? Thanks again.
Thanks for subscribing ! My car is super low i wouldn’t recommend it if you where driving it alot. My other video with parts and pricing has the part numbers of another set of coilovers that arent this low. i will have a video soon of C3 corvette front coilover review and install.
Finally a way to custom coil overs a c4, i have my 91 on stands simi taking apart for intake gasket leak and just snow balled from there. But this is something i need to do asap. I got a deal on some original 93 American racing 17s for the zr1 model and there so nice the back are 11s so the pock out need to get me some grandsport fender accents. So much to do just stopped but these are the vids we need more of on youtube or at least a channel deticated to the c4. I want to build my l98 to be as good or better the all the LS swapped ones you see.
Hi, Glad you enjoyed it! That sounds like a nice wheel set up! Yes the C4 is a great platform im glad more people are out there building them too! Good luck with your projects!
For your year C4 you do not need to build custom coilovers for it you can go to places as van Steel Corvette Central DRM and you could slam the car on the ground with those coilovers also the ride quality is way better than the lowering boats
Pretty ingenious suspension mods! I don’t really want a Vette that low because I don’t want to worry about clearances to the pavement. However I like your ideas. Q: How are the squeaks and rattles now that you’ve mod’d out the suspension as well as the interior seats? Are they noticeably quieter? Or, do you still have stuff that makes noise? Thanks for your time.
Thank you. Yes it is very low. It does drive very nice and smooth on the coilovers. The exhaust dragging is the only issue. it is a pretty quite car for being an older vette. thanks for watching
Me encantó tu proyecto hermano. Me darías el tamaño de las gomas delanteras y traseras incluyendo el tamaño de los aros que recomiendas? Tengo un corvette 1987 y quiero hacer algo similar a la obra de arte que creastes.. gracias, me encantan tus videos
Great video I’m super curious on what size coil overs your using in the front I have bought multiple sets for mine all left me way too high any info on size would be super cool. Keep up the great work
it was a struggle to get out of my stock height 86 even when I was younger because it was already so low and having to lift your leg over that wall didn't help either. Haha!
Awesome car bud, great work, best I’ve seen tbh. 💪💪💪Can I just ask about your wheels please ? I heard you say they were bmw alloys. Have you had any issues running the 5x120 bot pattern rather than the 5x120.65 ? I’d Rather ask you as you’ve been there and got the t shirt 😬😬👌✨again cars wicked mate. 💪💪✨thank you so much, Darren.
Oh, you live in Pennsylvania, Like I said I am in New York. I am in Orange County New York. I don't think You would make it down my road with how low that car is unless you could lift it up to factory height. I am a professional autobody technician for 17 years. I set up a Pop-up spray room at my house 12x20 carport complete negative pressure which helps with dust a lot. I do autobody at home on the side make some extra money should have my 1984 painted Electric blue before the end of June have some motor work want to take care of before I start painting it. Gaskets and vacuum lines I Ordered the Air Idle control valve lmao the 85 and up its only like 40 dollars for my 84 its $130+ I am doing my car in single stage electric blue just to get it painted. but later on, few months down the road I am going to sand it and clear coat it for a deeper look. probably do 3 heavy coats of clear then sand 1 layer off and wet sand and buff it.
2 years ago I got a pristine red on red 87 with 30k+ plus miles on it. I just put a Borla Catback on it and am very happy with the sound. I see you're in PA I'm in the Harrisburg region, where are you?
Good video👍 I have a 1986 vert. This was something I thought about doing. I’ve always read mixed opinions about going from the leaf springs to coils, because many people say that the chassis and suspension geometry is not meant to support the weight all on the shock mounts. I’ve also seen a lot of people say that you’re ruining the car because the chassis was built to handle the best with leaf springs. Should I really be concerned about anything like that? Or is this my sign to throw those coilovers in?
Hi, in my opinion they are perfectly fine to run so many companies sell coilover conversions for all year corvettes. I havent had a single problem at all. Thanks for watching.
@@etwasbauen6615 they look great, since they stopped making the factory tires for the 84-87 vettes, looking for something like this, any issues with fitment? From what I can tell the circumference of these size ventus(on the front) should be the same as the stock tire circumference. Without the slam, would these fit about the same as the stock as far as stance and the offset, etc? Thanks, I enjoy your content.
How do you like the powerstop brakes? Thinking about getting the (top model) upgraded rotors, pads, and maybe the calipers from them. I loved them on my Ram!
I just want to say that the C4 corvette is by far my favorite generation of all the Corvettes with pop up headlights !! more specifically starting with the 1985 C4 when chevy ditched the ' Cross Fire ' injection in favor of the TPI- Tuned Port Injection . And the cut off for my personal liking is 1989 which was the last year of that super cool 80's digital dash. I couldn't care less If the later generations are faster or whatever . As far as the newest generation Corvette with its amazing sounding naturally aspirated mid engine goes , I really dislike how the current gen Corvette looks . To my eyes it's too gimmicky like it's trying to look like a super car, too much plastic , spoilers , vents etc . The current gen Vette is a amazing sports car I just think there ugly. But the C4's are just right . I always loved the clam shell hood revealing that awesome TPI set up , the targa top and it's over all simplistic but aggresive looks . As far as your wheels and tires I think they look great on your C4 . My only concern is being that the center of the wheels are steel instead of forged aluminum or magnesium is the weight are they heavy ? And then there's the right height altho the stance looks great but the tires are actually tucked under the fenders does your set up scrub badly during hard cornering ? Anyway I would keep your C4 enjoy the hell put of it and don't care what others think . It wouldn't take much to squeeze another 50 to 75 reliable horsepower out of your C4's 350 TPI . I used to have a charcoal grey c4 a 89 back in the day I miss it .
@@etwasbauen6615 I really love the look of your car. Wonder about the total project cost excluding wheels and tires e.g. coilover and misc upgrade costs.
Id just take Meguiars magic compuond n let it go, looks killer to me man! I seen a guy take a maaco n buff it out etc, insane afterwards..Oh, he WET sanded the orange peel, n buffed! Looked like a 5K paint job
I got this same set up and the wheels actually go just outside the fenders, especially in the front. I know you have a bit of camber to your set up, but is this something you dealt with as well, or did I not catch the size wheels/tires you have?
@@kaldarleifar so follow up... I did some "investigating" and found that the shop who did the alignment used a ton of washers for the upper control arms. it's almost an inch of them. going to see if I can get someone else to look at it, but that would put my wheels back to fender flush
Just got an insanely clean 84. Thank god it's already been ported but I got to get the handling dialed in. Looking into the coil over setup because that looks great! Question on the wheels. I've heard various things about throwing a 5x120 onto our 5x120.65 hubs. Did you use wobble lug nuts? Hub centric rings? I'm very curious. I always wondered why c4's never had any cool wheels on them but it makes sense, that's a strange hub pattern to use.
What are you talking about? I don't see a crimson chin fromt bumper, a double deck wing, I don't see random stickers or anime girl stickers, I don't see anything racer in this car
He clearly said the interior was mangled. Is that perfect? Is rotten weatherstripping perfect? My 96 had rotten weatherstripping also. It was by far not perfect. The best thing that ever happened to this car was this guy buying it. He seems to like it a lot and spend a lot of time on it. You can take a new lambo and leave it for death in a garage for years does that make it perfect? No… go be stupid somewhere else my guy. This man spent thousands on this car to make it how HE wanted it. Not YOU. Go buy your own and do whatever YOU want to it.
How do you figure he put suspension on the car and lowered I don't know about you but have you ever driven a C4 with OEM suspension from 85 it doesn't ride to Good Very bouncy that's why I had to put coilovers on my 96
