I love how lowering makes the wheels look larger.

It's just a tad too low IMO. Instead of raising the suspension though, i would put some 24s on there and that should make it sit perfect.








Good post. Thought for a split second you were serious.....You aren't, are you?

Is this "air" suspended? Looks bagged & switched to me.

Actually, Vinny is from the Barrio and has installed a really neat hydraulic system that can lower his C5 up to 4 inches at highway speeds. When he needs to navigate a steep driveway, he raises the body up high enough to make a redneck 4-by driver proud.

Does it look hilarious when he slams it while cruising by some Vatos? Yep! But the look on their faces is priceless!

I guess it's a way to keep from getting flat spots on your tires.
