Believe it or not, I'm actually looking to raise it back to stock or close to it. I'm too lazy or don't have the time to wash the car myself as often as I'd like so I'd like to be able to get through the local car wash.
I liked the way the car looked and handled lowered but I was also scraping the front air dam all the time. I've also only washed it once this year.

I have had this queston for a while myself...my '00 vert is 27.5 & 28.5. It seems so low and scrapes so often I thought the last guy might have wrenched it, but I see FKing1 has 25.75. He really must be replacing front end stuff often!

I like to think I'm more of a driver than a waxer. I'm storing the car less each year. Hard to wash the car myself when it's below freezing. With 65K miles and many track sessions on the car, it's got it's share of battle damage.
