Lowering-How Much Aerodynamic Advantage...?
Just curious about lowering the car and helping aerodynamics. For instance, I know I've "hurt" my drag by going with bigger tires and Z06 screens, but is it offset at all by lowering it?
It's down to the bolt stops, but I am considering going a little lower in the front (.25-.50 inch more) to insure a more deliberate nose down attitude for high speed stability.
Just curious to see if anyone has more data on this... :auto:

You will not make an appreciable change in drag by lowering, but heaving the front down slightly will reduct lift in the front. I don't think you can achieve any downforce with the OEM nose, but reducing lift is a step in the right direction
