Arn't Vettes low enough? I mean they make Mustangs look like 4x4s.

i like the idea of being able to raise the car to get up driveways, over big speedbumps etc.

If only I could get a truck monkey to jump out and lay ramps in front of driveways and speedbumps for me. Since PETA would throw a fit if I really did find a way to do that, I'll just keep hoping for a ride height adjustable suspension.

Now that is a low car. I've not heard of any bags or other lifting devices that are available for the Vette, but I haven't looked for any either. Sometimes I wish the car did have a height adjustment on the front end. Would stop some of the scraping on steep inclines.

-- for the same reason Ant says. I'm interested in getting the Tigershark front end, but I fear I'd never make it into my driveway without scraping the hell out of it. My car has only been lowered an inch. I'd like to go another inch. As it is, unless I'm REALLY careful, I end up riding A&A frame savers up my driveway most of the time... I'd alter my driveway if I could, but the Gestapo, I mean the HOA would never allow it.

It is for sure but couple years ago, we used to a have a forum memeber also with white C5 coupe about that low.
His wheels stucked inside the fender at an angle.
People's here long may remember him since he always jumped in when people asking about lower pictures
