Slammed C5's

[Remo]

Is your C5 lowered? If yes - let' see some pics and tell us how you did it. Here's
an example from our old friend in Toronto. JETZ lowered his Z16 using PFADT
coilovers.

I would never be able to drive mine on any roads where I live if I were to do anything like that! hnoes

My 98 was lowered with cut bushings and all! While it looked really good it was hard to drive it. I lowered the 04 on stock bolts and it's much easier to drive.

2003 Z06 Electron Blue dropped to the max on stock bolts. In fact
the front bolts have been conpletely removed. Not the best solution
but will work until he gets the coilovers installed.

My 2004 was lowered all the way on the stock bolts and 2/3 of the bushings were cut.

CRVETTE

 

[Zblast]

I'll be the first to admit that Corvettes look much better lowered. But I remember this guy in Ocean City Md that was there for the Corvette show a couple years ago. He tried to turn into the parking lot at the hotel check in and he couldn't get up the VERY slight incline cause his car was so low. Took him about 10 tries at all angles, and he finally just gave up. At what point does lowering become more of a pain in the ass than a good look?

That's gotta be either a photochop or airbag suspension, because the car is not driveable (rockers are on the ground). :W

Bob - the car is set up on a air/servo ajustable suspension. It's normally seen cruising the streets of San Jose, California. Definitely tricked out.

Low rider phenomenon.
I would think that kind of modification would kill all the handling on the car. I've seen many low riders and they have one thing in common when riding, they bounce! It's a shame to kill the superior handling of a Corvette for ???. Maybe he gets a great insurance discount since now the car can be out handled by a YUGO.
This is just mine opinion. I'm not dissing low riders. Local clubs have many beautiful cars, I's just a shame to do this to a corvette.

zagger,

Lowering a C5 will actually improve the handling as it lowers the center of gravity, which is what's done to most road racing cars. The ideal way to lower it is to install coilovers as seen below. With coilovers you can adjust the ride hieght to whatever you like.
