lowering my 92' was the best choice i've ever made. The car just feels so much. Also, looks way awesome. For some reason the stock height of c4s' looks off for being a performance car.

Thanks for the input... My 96 would look way better ,yes make the vet lower like it's not low enough now. May put one of those big mouth air things on it then cut down the spoiler ,I think is were all the scrapeing is comeing from..Looks like the spring in the back has been lowered . I put a new one in but just put the new one in like the old was all the spacers are on the bottom with are 1/4 inch at the top , I don't see were you could make the spring go any highter to lower the thing..Anyway..I'll have to think it over..THANKS ALL..
