It certainly looks much better but I don’t know how guys get away with it. I scrape the air dam in many places and I’m stock height!

its not the plastic air damn that I'm worried about. its the rest of the car when its that low. No idea how people can get anywhere and enjoy driving like you are going through a slalom avoiding potholes and other crap in roads and parking lots.

The Pfadt coilovers offer the following benefits;
- 16 way adjustability so you can tune the shocks to your driving. Maybe softer for driving comfort during the week and then a harder setting for the track
- Unlimited ride height adjustment. Instead of using longer bolts, etc. You can set the ride height where You want it
- No loss of shock travel. These units are made for the lower ride height and you will not be bottoming out like you would on stock shocks and longer bolts many use to lower the car
- Elimination of mid corner skittish nature of the stock C5 suspension. The stock C5/Z06 does not like mid corner bumps. The coilovers help that and give you much more confidence in the cornering abilities of the car.
I would contact Aaron Pfadt to discuss what is the best solution for your car. He is a wealth of knowledge and has great customer service.
