I believe I'm still using a 35 in the rear and 40 in the front for profile on the tires. I live in new England and our roads suck. I was originally going to just try lowering the back with the bolts but I heard the handling is sacrificed as it takes the rake out of the car. 950 isn't bad, plus it'll be a coilover setup like I wanted in the first place. I don't race so I dont need anything too crazy. Just enough to have fun on the onramps with haha

Does anyone have or has anyone had the Doug Rippie coilover spring kit on their cars? I just picked up some 19 inch wheels (big I know, but I got a good deal). My concern is that the car will sit too high and look "donked out". Any southern folks out there will know what I mean. Anyway, I've been looking at coilover kits and this seems to be a decent kit without a astronomical price tag, at around 950 bucks. Anyone have anything for or against this kit?

I have done optis on both my father's 94 and as soon as I got my 94, I did it before, I even put it on the road (didn't want to deal with it again like I had to with my father's) both cars have the MSD opti, coil and wires. His has had about 30k miles put on the new opti and mine has had about 6k Miles. So far so good and the car runs a lot cleaner. Much better spark. Well worth the 600 bucks to take care of the whole ignition system essentially. I didn't pull the motor to do either of them tho. Good luck!

This may sound unbelievable but I don't have Facebook haha Either way, I'll see about making it up there April 10. I may be shipping out to OTS in the Air Force prior to that but if I'm around, I'll be there. (I'm ordering all these parts so that I have something to look forward to once I'm out of Officer Training School. I'll get to come home and slap them all on before I leave for Pilot Training. Yes, I'm taking the Vette with me to pilot training haha)

I'm waiting to order some Aero wheels from iForged. I like the deep dish look. Not sure what offset I'll need for a good 2.5-3 inch dish. http://www.iforged.com/v8/wheels/formula-series/aero/34 For now, I am running the stock brakes. The car is 100% stock except for the opti and clutch. I'm not sure if I want to go with C5 brakes or just upgrade the pads and rotors in stock size.

What wheel bearings do you guys recommend? I think my drivers side is on its way out. In definitely doing the seats over and weatherstripping. Doesn't matter how much work I put into it if it leaks haha
I definitely think I'm going to go with suspension and the banski kit and maybe go to C5 brakes if there's still money left over. The wheels I want are 2850 by themselves and the tires are 1350. So that's a big chunk of it. What's Bill getting to do a ZF over these days? And all I can say is to 383 is, holy hell haha

Brian, where are you located and when are your meets?
I was thinking of doing headers and Doug's cutouts then into the stock exhaust and a can. Maybe a cc306? Heavy but better than an 847 as these engines aren't real high RPM engines. And when I pull the engine, once I blow it up eventually, I'll balance it internally. Or who knows, maybe an LS swap at that point.

She just cracked 100k this morning. I have no plans of going to a C5 or anything newer, the car has more sentimental value to me than anything. My father has an identical car but with an auto behind the LT1. If I were to get a newer one, it would be an addition as opposed to a replacement haha About the ZF, is there anything Bill can do to make it so that the clutch situation isn't such a nightmare next time? Haha Good call on the suspension package, I was looking at 5ABIVT and his builds and he said he loves the coilover/banski setup he has.

So, I just sold my truck, don't need a 1 ton anymore. But now, I have all this money just sitting here and what better way to blow it than to take my 94 LT1/ZF6 to the buffet? I already did the Opti, coil, ICM, wires and plugs. Did a full McLeod clutch and all the bearings and whatnot associated with a new clutch. I picked up a fresh roof already too. But what next? I was thinking rims/tires, coilovers, headers and exhaust, new seat covers (my driver side has a tear), new weatherstripping etc. What would you guys do?
Cheers!

I do like the "traction bar" down the middle of those, especially in the front for steering, they seem to grab better in all conditions. How's the mileage on them for you?

Probably a stupid question but did you try soaking them? Sometimes that's all they need to free them up.

Yeah I'm weary of off-brand wheels and the only reason being that I live in New England and theres only 2 seasons here... Winter and Road Work. So the roads are in rough shape and I have D'ed up my fair share of rims so that's why I want to make sure I get a good quality wheel that I'll be less likely to put a flat spot in. As much as I try to avoid the nasty potholes, sometimes they sneak up on ya. Makes me wonder if the old steel Barrett stock car wheels are the way to go sometimes haha

I do love the look of them. I initially got the idea from a youtube video of a 1990 Vette with an LS7 swap and its similar to my car's color and the wheels look great on it. This is going to be my ONLY set, that's all my wallet can afford right now. The car doesn't get driven from November to late April (I live in New England) so these tires should last me 4 years or so. Hopefully the wheels will last forever haha

Well I'm sure the Wal-Mart Goodyear's are made in some 3rd world country for pennies on the dollar! I'd like to think my tires were made of a slighter higher quality than that... But i'll take your word for it that the Goodyear GSD3's are a good tire and that's what I'll go with, even though it's going to punch me in the wallet pretty good. Now I have to figure the rim situation out so I know what size to order!

That's a great idea! I wasn't sure that they did and if they did, whether they were of the same quality. From what I've gathered through searching around, C5 wheel dimensions will fit a C4 without clearance issues so maybe I could go that route too. I do want the wider tire look, not to mention the ease of finding new rubber. I've called all the local tire places and gone through the same spiel with them, give them the sizes and whatnot and they give me the "let me do more homework and call you back" and they never get back to me. Another motivating factor in a wheel upgrade.

Yeah that makes sense. I would imagine the back will clear easier than the front in that they don't steer as long as the suspension travel doesn't allow them to rub on the fender, control arms, and maybe even mufflers when I hit bridge abutments and such. (oh well, I guess an exhaust is in my future then too!)

And out of curiosity, why don't you like the Michelins? I have the old Goodyear Eagles now and have gotten decent mileage out of them, even for having a heavy foot but someone told me the Michelin Pilot Sports grip nice too.

Hey Guys, I apologize in advance because it seems wheel spacing is a relatively common topic, however none of it makes sense to me! I have a 1994 Vette and I love the look of the gloss black centennial cup wheels off a C6. I'm not sure but I think these particular wheels have a different offset than regular C6 wheels. Also, I'm due for new tires and I think it's time to bite the bullet for these wheels. (Plus I'm having some difficulty finding tires for my OEM wheels as Michelin discontinued their OEM Replacement tire) I guess my question is, are these wheels offset differently or can I use the 1.5 inch spacers all the way around to run these wheels?

Yeah the McLeod's use a "weight kit" to bolt onto the flywheel which keeps her quiet. If there was enough sticking up, he probably just used an easy out. Unless the bolt was a thru hole, an EDM would probably cuase more harm than good. He probably used some heat, PB Blast and an easy out or reverse fluted drill bit to thread it out. He may also have just drilled it out to the shank size and ran a tap back thru it. Either way, the jobs done and you can get back moving again!

Sorry, just coming into this thread. I know first hand how much of a PITA the clutches are in these. I myself have a 1994 LT1, and I believe blue label ZF6. I was having HUGE clutch chatter and similar issues as you with the losing acceleration in 5th. Long story short, I figured I could do a pressure plate and disk and try to use my OEM dual mass. Turns out previous owner put in a centerforce with the OEM nowhere to be found. I went through McLeod and emptied my bank account and shook my piggy bank while I was at it. I got a sprung hub clutch disk, new flywheel and pressure plate. Once I put it in tho, night and day of difference and extremely smooth as long as I don't lug the car, then I get a slight vibration. But the clutch grabs and does not let go. Just food for thought if all else fails.

Problem solved. Got a flywheel from a bone yard and took both to work and match balanced them. McLeod was right on with the 125.5 gram weight. Purrs like a kitten now. And surprisingly quiet. Thanks for your input everyone! What to upgrade next?

Yeah that all makes perfect sense. The centerforce was drilled directly opposite the alignment dowel pin. The McLeod has you add weights to the same "side" as the alignment pin, so essentially the same thing. But who knows what the factory one had because I don't have it. Is there any way that the motor can be "rebalanced"? Short of swapping the crank with a neutrally balanced crank?

how would I go about match balancing an lt4 flywheel. A centerforce came out of the car that had holes drilled to remove material from the side opposite the dowel pin for balancing. McLeod uses bolt on weights on right above the dowel pin. so who knows what the factory flywheel was balanced at..

No the motor and tranny are BONE stock. The only "upgrade" is an MSD opti, coil, and MSD superconductor wires because I had the typical optispark issue.. he had the tranny out of the car when he took the pictures. I do know that some of the LT motors had balance issues from the factory so they put a balancer on the front of the motor as well. Some LTs had a neutrally balanced weight in the front, others, like mine have a balancer up front that is marked for top dead center installation because it needed to be balanced accordingly. The mechanic is very well known in the area and is typically very good. He said he's seen issues similar to this before but never this particular issue with this particular motor/tranny/car.

Okay so some of you may recall my previous post a while back that I was having trouble finding a clutch to fit my lt1 zf6 94 Vette. I ended up going with a McLeod setup, Lee at mcleod helped me out when I called him with my concerns and gave me the part numbers for everything I would need and I ordered them up. I had them installed by my mechanic who specialized in the 90's era Chevrolets. So the clutch fit right in without any issue. Until he started the car... something is not balanced. He followed the instructions to the T and even took pictures and sent them to Lee at McLeod and Lee confirmed that everything was correct. However the car "wobbles" due to the inbalance. When I increase RPMs, it virtually goes away until its almost back down to idle speed and the shutter returns. Everything is brand new from McLeod and the car never had this issue before. I know that the weight that needed to be used is a 125 gram piece of steel which is somewhat common knowledge. Any ideas what could be causing this?? Everyone is baffled by this, including Lee at McLeod and its extremely frustrating!thank you!

Wow, I find this post very intriguing! I'm having the same exact problem! I haven't done much other than a 15 dollar fuel filter. But the problem persists. I can attest to the opti comment above that the car will run, even with an almost completely failing opti. It will run like a turd, but it WILL run. (Found that out in my father's identical vette to mine). I replaced his with an MSD and couldn't be happier with it! My opti was replaced shortly before I bought my car as well and I'm having the same problem. I'll see what you come up with and maybe it will give me a decent place to start. Thanks!

The turning marks from a lathe don't create a perfectly round path for the clutch to slip on? We take off as little as .0001" at a time with various finishes down to a 4.4 with our grinders. I know that obviously a 4.4 is NOT the optimal fibish for something that depends on friction to function haha unfortunately, my shop got rid of our blanchard grinder some time ago. But I can't see turning marks being very productive as they go with the direction of spin... but I'm no tranny wizard.. i was thinking of grinding it to an 80 finish. Let me know what you think

Wow, I usually have to turn my Duramax off at the drive through. Its that loud? Maybe I am better off with just spending the 1400 and getting another dual-mass. Which is tough considering I only paid 6k for the car. Even though thats a damn good deal considering my father paid 22k for his back in 96!

With changing over to a solid flywheel, is there going to be a lot more noticeable vibration that the dual mass would otherwise buffer out?

And yeah bogus has given me the recipe for the flywheel, clutch and pressure plate combo. Thanks for that! Definitely glad someone knew what needs to be done seeing how the local tranny place doesn't

Thats a good call. Leave them some to grind. Plus that way their wheel won't load up taking .090 off. It'll make it easier to get it to size more accurately and keep it within tenths on flatness

I can use a rougher wheel with a faster feed and I'll get a pretty gnarly finish. My work got rid of our blanchard grinder a little over a year ago... of course. But i refuse to pay the local tranny place 250 bucks for them to "turn it" they probably just use a lathe too. Any a-hole with a lathe can't necessarily turn anything correctly

I'll throw it on the surface grinder then. I'll grind one side just to clean it, then I'll take the remainder off the friction side to keep uniform flatness and thickness. I assume it doesn't have to be as precise as say a gun part but it should be real close.. thanks!

Also, is there a reason i couldn't surface grind it as opposed to turning it? I can get a much better finish as well as more consistent thickness if i surface grind it. Unless you're talking about the OD....

Awesome! Thanks for the input! You don't find the muffler eliminators to make it obnoxiously loud? You're using stock cats too right?

Does anyone have or know anything about the exhaust "designed and manufactured by corvette central" exhaust? Is it good quality? (As its only 445 bucks with magnaflow mufflers) also, if I delete the cats, am i going to have pesky check engine lights or anything? Any recommendations?

Thats definitely good to know! And no, i won't have any issue match balancing it. Should i go with an OEM FBody clutch too? Then just an OEM vette pressure plate?

Thanks! I'll have to give him a call today. I don't want any chance of anyone throwing it in reverse, it seems to be a cheap insurance policy haha And bogus, maybe thats why i can't find any pressure plates anywhere. I'll try to find a luk dealer in my area because it doesn't look like i could order it direct. Thanks for the info!
