Another lowering question.
Was following Kale's thread, when I got a call from the alignment shop - can't align it because it has been lowered. Instruments cannot read under the car (right to left). They have done C5's before, but cannot do mine.
I have 18" Malletts all around (w/ 35 sidewall tires), and have thought that the gap up front is a little smaller than waht I see, but I accounted that to the larger wheels. Back appears to be the same to me.
SO, what is a stock ride height / gaps, or what should I look for underneath to determine if it has been lowered.
Should also mention it rides a bit harsher / bouncier than a friends coupe w/ the adjustable suspension set on sport. Found this out last week.

That's what I thought, and mine isn't even that low.
They just called back and are able to get it done by 'adjusting' the equipment. I said if it has to be rigged or anything odd, don't do it as it drives fine, I just want it for peace of mind. They said it wouldn't be problem.
