I think it looks pretty cool, but it's not very practical for me.
I don't know how you guys drive your cars around without scraping everything under the sun.
Must be FLAT around there.
Where I live, I have a hard enough time getting around town without scraping at stock height. Oklahoma does
not have vette friendly roads.

Mines lowered on stock bolts, and has been for about a year now. Ive had just about all I can take at this point though..... the ride just suffers too much. I'm adjusting it closer to stock height this year.

Like the look just can't relate to the bottoming out. Have lowered mine and made other mods that will protect it but it really seams that it can be crazy after a certain point. The last silver vette looks like it would bottom out if it went over a pebble. Just my 2 cents.

I like the looks of both suspension and wheel combos on yours Redlyner. Great photo with the Aeros and car lowered ! When the light hits them right that silver really sets off the lines of the C5 like no other color.

Speed bumps,,, I just take an angle.. It's not that bad if you take it slow(that's what she said).
Road debris and whatnot is just an excuse to get your Michael Schumacher on!
I mean come on... It's a corvette not a buick Lesabre
