Do C5's lean to the left.
Hi C5ers I have a 95 C4 that has a bit of a left side lean. Everyone has said that this is the nature of the car. Is it the same for the C5's?
Thanks for your input.

When I got my C5 it measured perfectly level in both the front and rear. I think that this is how it should be from the factory. But it is easy to adjust the lowering bolts and make it lean either left or right. :cool:

Yep - I've wondered that for all 3 of my C5's. It's VERY subtle, but I can tell that the left side seems a wee bit lower than the right side. I've only noticed it from the rear, though.

After lowering the front all the way without cutting the bushings, I sit 3/8" lower on the left side. I weigh 175 lbs...am I fat???

No Jim you're not fat :smash:
I think it may be more pronounced after lowering - at least it's what I've noticed.
