It looks great.

I live in NW Arkansas, there is no way I could do that to my vette here. Heck I already scrape in to many places.

My 87 was just as low, and had LT headers, And I lived with that for 3 years.

I am more than happy to trade some practicality to the right feel and look

Damn...that looks fantastic. I love lowered GS's.

Question for ya: Is the front lower more on one side than the other? The reason I ask...when I lowered mine (about a year ago), one side always seems to be a little lower than the other side. Just looks that way in the one pic.

yes the driver side is a tad lower then the passenger side. That pretty normal with C4´s I have heard. Not sure why...?

I not sure why either? I want to rip mine out again and shave the wedges and remove the spring cushions. I got nervous that it would scrape the wells. I am definalty doing it now. I love it man. Two

Maybe because the car has a driver in it more than a passenger therefore one side wears quicker. Just a guess...Wish I could lower mine as much a some of you but would never make it over the speed bumps around here.
