lowering question
Just lowerd my C5 today, using tips I got from this site 
https://www.corvetteforum.com/techti...D=27&TopicID=1
question is, how long does it take to get down to it's lowest? Car is inching down slowly...
Also, what have members been getting by doing this? 1" to 1.5" drop?

I did mine the other day and it is slowly going down. i was really disappointed when i did it because it didnt seem low enough. I got it back from the car audio place yesterday and it looked like it had dropped at least a half inch. so just be patient and it should happen for ya!!
