You wont have to have it lowered to avoid 4x4 look

The size of the wheel well on the rear of my GS just seems so oversized. However, I didn’t lower it because the car is already low and lots of barley scrapes as is. Lowering it would just make worry about that more.

i noticed that a few days ago;

"if this is the stock ride height lowering will no longer be the first requirement after purchase!"

it's a good thing too; cheap, easy lowering days are over with the new suspension setup.

May look good lowered but if you gotta watch every bump its no longer fun. LIke to drive them hard and not worry about it.

I think GM just did a better job of following the tire profile with the openings.

Exactly,
I even believe,there’s a little more ground clearance on the C8.
