Default Lowered the gs this weekend

Couldn't leave well enough alone, went with eibach bolts in the rear, and stock bolts up front, all all the way down.

Still have some tweaking to do so its level side to side, but I'm happy with my subtle change now. Alignment next!

I'm probably going to do the pfadt street setup when I get it aligned. Any last minute thoughts on that?

Getting my pfadt street alignment tomorrow! Along with new Michelin PSS's!!!

I am going to keep the stock ride height for now. I have the F55 suspension, I think it sits a little lower..

Your car looks great!!

Beautiful machine! I would put a splitter & rockers on there! Looks great though, as it stands.

Looks good, but as mentioned watch the scrapping. Your driveway looks like it is on a semi-steep angle, unless it is just the way you took the pictures. If you add a splitter you may have some issues with the driveway.

How does it look on a flat service? The camera angle is deceiving as it makes the rear of the car look saggy.........LOL!

I can't lower mine as it will rip the splitter off going in & out of my driveway.........YIKES!

Great looking Vette.

To me it looks like the rear sits lower than the front. To me the rear needs to be raised a little.

LOL...undercarriage sits up pretty high on these cars. 3 fingers from what? Your air dam that's made to scrape....

These cars come so high from the factory... It looks 10000 times better lowered... In fact it could go lower.
