Default Ride height
Found an old photo that properly explains my happiness with the ride height of my C7. I am so much happier now being able to jump curbs and such.

I think he is saying that his C6 had less clearance and he had to replace the radiator support multiple times due to damage from the low ride height, but he hasn’t had this problem with the C7?

Or, he didn't have to install steel protective skid-plates under his car, as I had to do with my C5 (and, not with my C7). Or...

Yeah, the C7 sits a bit higher than my C5 did and it makes it easier to get in/out of my driveway.
