Once again, I'm amazed someone would take one of the greatest suspensions available; one capable of turning a full G on the lateral skidpad; and reduce suspension travel, compliance, and ride quality just to close that dreaded gap between the tires and the wheelwells. Ah, vanity... :rolleyes:

Don't knock it until you try it. My car still does everything I ask of it. I don't race it at a track, so I will never need it's full potential. Hey, if you love 4x4's..... :rolleyes:

I couldn't think of anything whitty, so I figured I would point you in the right direction. Lenthen the bolts in the rear on each end of the springs and shorten the snubber bolts on the fron t of the end of each spring. Go to the C5 FAQ and there is you answer with a bit more detail. It is really quite simple, but don't get greedy or you will kill your ride quality.
