If your still running stock shocks, it's time for some Bilsteins.

Looks great, but it looks like the rear is a tad bit lower than the front.

Not sure what springs you used, but when I lowered my SS, I did the rear first. Then a month later I did the fronts and freaked out because the front was higher. I didn't know about springs settling.

It looks good the only thing I would do if you lowered the stock bolts in front go back when you get a chance and shave off the rubber boot it has. It will give you the stance in front you probably need that way people stop telling you to raise the back .

Looks really good bra

You don't lower C5s with springs.

Looks good man. Kinda curious as to how you lowered it. Ie those bolts you buy or if you went with coilovers or something.
