Not everyone is in an area of the country where the car can practically sit on the ground. If I lowered mine, I'd destroy the undercarriage real quick (railroad tracks, driveways, rutty and uneven roads, etc.).

I love the look, but need to maintain the practicality. Planning on some adjustable coilovers at some point so I can adjust the height as needed.

I am considering that for one of this weekend's projects..... Plus I am trying to buy a house so I still need to get out of my current driveway for now and will slam it once I move to a house with a flat driveway.

Too Little Boost on the Supercharger. I am on a plane heading back to NY. I was in Phoenix, Arizona for 3 days on business. Almost made it to Bob Bondurants in Chandler but had to head back.

Grrrrr......I hate this thread. The lowered cars look fantastic. Between neighborhood speed bumps and scraping in my own driveway, it's something I can never do....sigh.

^ is a little dirty at the moment but black wheels do a good job of masking the brake dust.

Dropped vettes are great. However, dropped vettes with some slightly lower offsets to bring the tires closer to the fenders are even better.

I will say, I just blew out my 2nd back right fender liner. I'm so pissed... my battery box is now screwed...

IT was my 350lbs cousin, I made him get out going over speed bumps because we kept on scrapping. He got mad and said, " it will scrape either way", lol, and of it course it didn't when he got out.

Then it blew out the next day.

Just saying, my stance is cool but my Z is wack!

I don't mind the stock ride height look. Lowered is cool but not too practical for many roads or driveways.

Stock height...
