Does anybody know a way to raise the rear of the C4 up a little higher. I understand longer bolts lower the car. But how can you get the car to sit higher in the rear?

:thud:

Screw the bolts up higher.
Reposition the spacers on the spring where it mounts to the batwing

might need new shocks and a rear spring if it's sitting too low.

Score some 5/8 large diameter flat washers they are about
1/8" thickness. For a 1/2 rise you will need 8, 4 per side.

You can remove the hanger bolt nut & install the washers @ the bottom or remove the bolt & install the washers under the head of the bolt for a sanitary look.

Thanks a million


Would 3/4 inch be too much

Would it throw my alinement off?

Before taking the wrenches out do a mock up.

Place a piece of masking tape on the body at the wheel center line. Measure up from the lower horizontal shelf of the wheel shell just above the rolled edge & mark the masking tspe at a convenient number. Place a floor jack under the center of the carrier & raise the car 3/4 of an inch by comparing the previous mark to the current measurement. If your happy go for it.

Camber will change with a height adjustment. Raising the rear will add positive camber, top of the wheel will tilt outboard. Zero camber is recommended for the rear & street use.

Lowering the rear will add negative camber, top of the wheel will tilt inboard. Good for road racing, wears the inside of the tires quickly.
