New mods
Finally the weather got nice here in Mi. so I could install new parts. Drilled and slotted rotors, new pads, painted calipers, and new wheels and tires. I know I will hear lower it but it is as low as I can go with high bank driveway, pic. included.

Huge Improvement Bro!
And I agree about lowering it, sometimes you just can't. I would have to raise mine if I decided to daily drive it again
Anyways looks awesome!

Seriously, your driveway is NOT that steep. That vette needs to be lowered, got a Tahoe 4x4 look going there...looks taller than a stock one! (the rest is nice though )It is OK to scrape the plastic airdam, it's designed to do that.

I agree, that is a long slight slope driveway. Mine is lowered all the way on the factory stops and my drop at the end of my drive way is about a foot over a foot and a half run, barely scrapes the bottom fascia sometimes. I'd go for it.

+1 on the driveway being manageable lowered. As long as you can come in at a sharp angle and get the edge of the inside tire on the slope to lift the rest of the front up, you're good. Looks more than do-able from the pics. Your car is just begging to ride a good 2.5" lower.
If not, I'd have already been back from Home Depot making a driveway ramp.
Mods sure do look good though!
