C5 Ride Height
My Y2K C5 seems like it's sporting the "4x4" look even more so than other stock C5's. I was wondering if a few of you (w/ no lowering done on the car) could do a quick measurement for me of the distance between the top of the tire and the edge of fender. I am measuring roughly 3.5" front & rear. Thanks

I guess I do have a 4x4 
The only thing i can think of was that it changed after I installed the C6Z06 shocks about a month ago. i should have done an actual measurment before the shock change-out. If I remember right the new C6Z06's were a bit longer than the originals. I wonder if the ride height will be able to lower down enough when I try to lower it on the stock bolts. we shall see here in a few weeks. I will keep you posted.

Same here for my '03. I would like it a little lower but with the speed bumps in my neighborhood and the fact that I already scrape coming into my driveway it will have to stay stock.
