Before, bring on the speedbumps!

Now I have to be more careful.

Yeah but you will have more fun dodging them, now.

Looks much better, BTW.

I'm literally about to go the opposite way lol. For me, I'd rather have the suspension geometry correct. Plus it will be way easier to get it on my alignment rack at work once I bring it back up. They look great lowered, but I'm sick of scraping on everything. Car looks great, enjoy!

It's still factory suspension correct geometry. They make them adjustable and ship them out of BG jacked up to lessen liability and overall complaints. In my case I put in all of the Z06 spec parts so the additional stiffness means sitting lower isn't quite as tricky. If you think they were setting the track and performance numbers back in the day without making any adjustments to the height on the car then....ummm yeah.
I did enjoy a month of charging over speed bumps and turning into work at a straight 90.
Now I slow it up and do a 2x45.
