Lowered C5 **Almost** fits under semi
 
Hi All,
I recently lowered my car on aftermarket lowering bolts and had to know.. Will it fit under a 53' semi trailer? The answer... No - 1" too high.
Enjoy:

But if you were going 100MPH the downforce would push the car lower and you would make it right under there. Try it- I guarantee it will clear!!:thumbs: :D:D:D

Less air in your tires, Empty semi trailer and more air in its tires. Drive under it all day! haha:thumbs:
