Default Took a few NEW photos this evening.

Here are a few photos that I took this evening. This is as low as I can go with my F55 suspension without going to LG drop spindles ($3000). I may do that eventually but this is it for now.

What do you guys/gals think? Does it look OK?

Looks good! I am not going to lower my GS with F55 at all and don't really care what it looks like. Not going to mess with the suspension.

Looks very good!

If you want it lower go GT2 coilovers.

Car looks great, nice stance.

Did you lower using just the stock bolts, assuming they're all the way down?

LOVE those wheels. Yours is the second C6 I have seen them on. They really fit the body well in my opinion.

Actually I was going to lower it on the stock bolts but the back end was only going to go down 1/4" or so so I left is as it was.

The car settled quite a bit after I put the interior back in it, along with the extra 50-75 lbs of heat and sound insulation I installed.

So, no they are not quite down as far as they could go. To be honest I am afraid that if I lower it any further than it is, the ride quality would suffer and it could actually contribute to a problem with the F55 suspension.

If I decide I need it lower than it is now, I will go to the LG Drop Spindles. They are expensive but you can lower the car a full inch without ANY change to the suspension geometry so it would not affect the ride or the shocks.

I'm going to do it right or not at all.

Thanks! I love the look but they are not the easiest wheels to keep clean (or clean for that matter).


I just got a set of OEM Z06 Spyder wheels that I will powder coat (a dark shade of Silver Metalic) that I will put on this car some day when I get tired of these Vossen wheels. They will be much easier to clean.
