True, it takes what, 15 minutes to lower it on stock bolts? Honestly though, my C3 feels like a 4x4 after driving the C5. If the C5 were any lower I couldn't drive it to work. Nellis AFB and Creech AFB both have "Speed Tables" at the gates that if I don't take them just right as slow as I possibly can will slam the undercarriage under the passenger seat. I've actually considered raising it back up to stock height as long as its going to be my commuter car. I just like the stance to much to do it

I stayed at stock height but I must have grounded a dozen times on the speed ramps at Nellis
