Normal height ?
After looking at all the pics of lowered C6's, I'm thinking of doing mine.
My car looks kind of low right now. From the ground to the fender edge measures 28 1/4" in back and 27" in front.
Used the forum search but can't find a measurement for a lowered car.
Anyone have a measurement for comparison?
Thanks in advance.

You might want to consider stiffer shocks like Bilstien Sports or similar. It's not a requirement, but certainly helps with not scraping on certain roads.
That may not seem like much, but is plenty low for me, and I've been mulling over this I might even raise the front slightly.

These cars are plenty low already. It is just the wheel gap your not happy with I would assume. Me neither, I lowered mine and it is right back up to within 1/4 in. of stock height. Just found it to low for many hiway dips.

Hit the nail on the head. I go back and forth and usually decide to leave stock and maintain the most comfortable ride.
