We live in the same general area, and I am wondering how you go up driveways? I don't if you know were the Library Pub is in Novi, but I have a hard time going in and out of places like that without the front wanting to drag.

As far as the ride height difference, the Z06 has bigger tires so it may just look lower.

Slow and sideways ....It does rub some on the front spoiler but no real damage. My worst fear is something unavoidable on the expressways that you wouldn't clear. So far no problem and there are several lowered Vettes in our area.
