Thanks LGM & XTreme
I picked up my car today from LGM who just finished installing and tuning my new suspension pieces with a beautiful set of HRE's from XTreme. Great results happen when vendors work together! Lou personally drove my car and made sure the suspension was setup just right - they installed T1 sway bars, Bilsteins shocks, poly bushings, and made sure everything would clear for the massive HRE's. Out back sit 18"x12" 545's (with Pilot 335x30x18's) which fit like a glove thanks to the nice mini-tub job LGM did. Up front are 18"x10" 545's (with Pilot 285x35x18's.) The car handles amazing well, yet isn't too harsh or unstreetable at all. I think the Z51 springs work well with the setup. No noise or strange rubbing - LGM really knows the C5's suspension. Thanks to Nate and Lou for making it happen. :cheers:

Congrats - beautiful car!! Can you do me a favor and measure the distance between the ground and the fender lip (both front and rear)? I am curious as to how low your car is.......

Rear: 26 3/4"
Lou did have to raise the car up 5 turns on the bolts, and slightly clearance the rear leaf springs - which was fine by me since it was literally scraping everywhere I went before.

Very Nice! Can you post some picks from the rear of the car from a low angle. I want to see how wide those tires look.
