    Here's a perfect example. If yours is lowered, post a picture.

    I agree, but I already drag the front end over the gutters and speed bumps. I have even had the rockers drag over driveways. I think I will continue to not look so good.

    Remo, if I lowered mine AT ALL, I would only be able to eat from drive thru's, and have to sleep in
    the car. I DAMNED sure wouldn't be able to get out of it once I got my a-- in there!

    Lowering the C5 is the best and cheapest mod that you can do. The air dam scrapes with or without lowering the car anyway. Handles so much better lowered. And it does'nt look like a 4x4. I can't believe guys actually scrape thier rockers on a car that is NOT lowered. That's just not paying attention. My C5 is lowered and I'll be damned if I ever scrape my rocker panels on my baby. Just do'nt drive it where its not gonna go. Remo, I'm with you brother, but you're preaching to guys that screw chrome things out of a catalog all over these cars. It's like lets see who can screw or stick the most things out of a catalog on a C5. They just don't get it bro. Never will.

    I agree...lower is better.. i'll be autocrossing my slammed c4 starting nov 1. Heres how far i dropped my c5 (3 inches),people should realize,there are stainless steel rocker protectors,front roller balls protectors that weld/bolt to the lower radiator supports,and the front spoiler is on a hinge,it rolls back whenever it makes contact,i just took mine off.
