Does this C3 seem to raised?
It looks like this C3's body is too raised in the front, Or is this normal? https://bay172.mail.live.com/att/Get...YWdlL2pwZWc_3d

Without seeing the picture because you have to log in I cant say. What I can say is that I feel like my C3 sits taller in the front then the rear. I just think its looks that way because it has such tall fenders and the back end slopes down so low.....

Since we can't see the car, I'll have to take a guess.
New springs, often cause an old Corvette, sit high. Normally it takes about 500 miles, for the springs to "settle". I've also seen cars that the tires installed on the car, are shorter than the OEM ones, causing an optical illusion of the car sitting high!

The front of my car looks higher than the back based on the wheel gap, not sure why but it seems pretty common.
could be front springs not fully in the seats, rear spring is de-arched, warn mounts, or just that's how it sits, shrug.

Thanks guys for that info. Unfortunately that photo was in an email sent to me by my nephew who was considering buying this C3. I don't know any other way to down load from that email, but your posts have helped me realize that what I consider raised is probably normal. My C6 is so low in the front anything else would be considered high. LOL
