Here is a write up on lowering a C5, I have had 4 C5's and lowered them all, I like the lowered look, and the improved handling.

sorry at exit 10, but I did it and it makes the car look better. I am not sure of improvement in handling though, but handles at least as good as before if not better.

It is also easy to do....
