before/after lowering shots
here's my car before I lowered it on stock bolts
and here it is after lowering on stock bolts
Can you tell a noticeable difference? It really drives more 'attached' to the road now, and does scrape the front spoiler a bit more frequently, but I'd do it again in a heartbeat. What do you guys think?

Would be real cool if you had identical position/angle pics of B4 and after to REALLY see the difference.
I can't really see it b/c the angles are so different one from the other
But I would like to.

Mine isn't the Z-51, but I do have the adjustable ride **** in there. To me, it looks like it must have dropped at least an inch or so. I like the firmer feeling of the ride quality now, while still having it set on the 'touring' mode. Before it felt a little 'spongy' on hilly, bumpy roads in the 'tour' mode. Now it just feels 'connected' to the road better. Not too firm or harsh, just more 'racer-like' in it's grip and feedback. Plus, yes, I do like the stance better too. Big improvement, in my opinion.

Mine already scrapes everything. I can't imagine the speedbump going in to my yard at work.
I love the look of the lowered Vette's but for me they just aren't realistic
I cant imagine hitting something at night on the highway...
Exiting or entering steep driveways, etc. I already have to come at everything from an angle...
But it sure LOOKS great
Even a fat girlfriend... ummmmm (joking)

Great looking car - and yes, you can definitely see that it has been lowered.

Tricep, if that is your black Vette in the photo, that thing looks bad-***! Too low for my nerve, but man does it ever look great! Wait, I recognize that plate, that's Stephen's car, isn't it?

I wish it was mine.
No, I was using that pic as an example of how cool a lowered car can look. I just wouldn't be able to drive it my 120 miles a day realistically speaking....
That thing would be sitting for sho... for SHOW!
