Default Lowering corvette question?????

When I read about people lowering the corvette what does that do?? My fron end is so low I drag the spoiler ever time I hit a small dip. How could you get any lower without dragging???

It really depends on the roads that you drive on. In Florida it's pretty much flat. Mine's lowered and I rarely scrub. You just have to adjust your driving style.
