How has lowering your car (cutting the pucks front and adjusting down the back) effected the handling and ride and every day driving of your car. I and I am not asking about coil overs I am aware of there advantages.
Thanks

Since I lowered mine a few weeks ago I have noticed that my ride handling seems more smooth now compared to before. Everything seems tighter especially when going on turns. It definately helped in my case. If I had to do it all over again on another Vette.. I would do it.

It rides a bit rougher, bumpier roads are definitely more noticiable. As far as handling the curves, I can take the curves alot harder than before.
