Default Question about my 02

Well, I finally became a corvette owner. Wanted one as long as I can remember. 02 electron blue targa. Have a few questions. What is the factory ride height? Mine seems to sit very low. Not sure if the previous owner lowered it. Also, the temp display for the ac is so dim you can`t see it during the day, and barely at night. Hopefully not a big deal. Hope you guys don`t get sick of my rookie questions, but I`d like to learn all I can about my car. Thanks

Here is how to fix the Temp display!

It is not that hard and really is quite simple!

Thanks. Just looked over the post, and I`ll give it a try. Didn`t see the ground clearance info tho. Seems I could bottom out on a penny if it was in the road. I think speed bumps would be out of the question!

Look again under exterior demensions! You'll see ride height!

Here is a sample under the Coupe:
Overall height (in / mm): 47.7/ 1211.5

Thanks,Matt

Just measured it. Comes in at 46" exactly. Guess its been lowered. What is the most common way to lower it. Not sure it will pass inspection in Md. Not sure I like it that low either. Prob won`t be cheap to change it back. Any ideas?
