Figure 12a and 12b: Final tightening of lower and upper mounts


Once both coil overs are installed, tighten the upper shock mount at the frame.

The shock will want to turn while doing this, make sure that the bolt holding the shock in
place is parallel to the frame once it is tight and not at an angle.

Moving onto the rear of the car, we need to first start by mounting the rear upper

shock mount. Again there will be a slight difference between the C5 and C6 cars. When
looking at the car, the upper mount for the C5 will appear to have it’s mounting ears
towards the front of the car and down, the C6 will have the mount opposite of this, with
the ears to the back of the car and up slightly (see figure 13).

Once the upper mounts have been installed and tightened down we can now

install the rear shocks into the car. First start by sliding the coil over up from the inside
between the tie rod end and the half shaft, once it is up slide the lower mount into place
and then install the lower bolt. You can also start the upper bolt first, and move the lower
control arm up into place, which ever you feel is easiest for you.
