Default Corvette lowering

To lower or not to lower... that is the question.

Lowered mine to the max on stock bolts and did not cut the rubbers. perfect and it has been that way for the last 65K miles. Yes align it after, and pick up a couple of spare sets of fron air dams (they are cheap). And the car looks a whole bunch better.

In my sig she is setting on 17 inch rims and Hoosiers on all four, and she sets almost a half inch lower on race tires.

What is the point of a topic like this? The lug nut poll makes more sense!

Sorry to all whom I caused griefs with this poll. I apologize about wasting your time. I was just getting over excited about low riding.
