John George - Remember those are the GM Glamour shots. I have similar shots of a C5, but that's not how my C5 came. Let's see what happens, but my guess is it will need lowering to look like that.

True. I hope it is not as extreme as it can appear. I am reluctant to change a new Corvette. I never considered the issue until I joined this forum. Now I have to go home and look at my C5. If I never noticed it there I'll hopefully not notice it on the C6.

The stock ride height looks PERFECT to me. I drive a 330i that looks great with a low ride height because its designed that way, both for looks and performance. U.S. sports cars and sedans admittedly have a different look, but I think that design variety is a good thing. Moreover, I view the stock profile of the C6 as being very represenatative of its muscle car heritage. ANY aftermarket suspension change will present tradeoffs and, often, unintended consequences. Slam it if you want, but I'll keep mine just the way it arrives.

I probably won't lower it...But, if it wasn't for those San Fran pics with the C6 tied down, I would have never had to think about it. I agree with other who say the backend could stand to lose some height, but if it compromises anything...No way...
