Post Lowering Pics....
I only Dropped it approx. 3/4 inches. The car sat about 1/4 inch higher in the back in the stock set-up. to maintain the rake I left the rear a little higher than the front. The front and rear were dropped the same amount, but ther rear remains a little higher like stock. I did not drop it all the way for three reasons:
1. Dropping the front anymore would would make the car a museum piece because I could not leave my driveway.
2. I am thinking of getting new wheels down the road (probably IForged Aeros 18 inch) and I would like to have them on the car before I fine tune the wheel gap.
3. The car may settle more (I guess) it has been this way for about 2 weeks and about 250 miles.

I didn't crank the front bolts all the way down because it seems that over time it will drop more. Besides...I still need to get out of my driveway.

thats exactly how mine is sitting now that i lowered it, and raised the back up a smidge to maintain the rake too. i cant stand ANY car or truck being lower in the back as many of these C5's on here are. even if they arent lower in back and have the same "measurments" they look like it when the rear wheel gap is so much smaller than the front. very nice car, nice color too haha

For those of you that have your cars lowered, can you tell much of a ride difference? They look really great but I'm scraping that stupid spoiler in the front now allll the time. I'm just wondering how the ride is.
