Default New pics of C6 wheels. Lower it more?
I just put on Bilstein shock and cut the rear springs 1/2 coil, and the front springs 5/8 coil. The problem is that my driveway has a big hump that I have to drive over and I have to go in a certain way do get it not to scrape. Also, do you think that it will settle more and drop another 1/8 inch or so. BTW I did the shocks and springs last night.

I think it looks good the way it is but it just depends on if you like it or not. The lower the better I think, but that is just my opinion.

Looks great, I think it's just about right. Besides, I know how it is to have to learn to drive a certain way to avoid hitting stuff with your car....

It looks good the way it is, and yes it will settle down a little over time.

I'd drop it a little more. But I'm really picky about ride height, though.

I want to drop it more to but it's such a freakin' pain to take out the strut assembly. I'm glad that the majority of you think that it looks fine the way it is.

I think it looks real nice.

Can you take some pictures of it without so much sun on the pics?

It would look a lot better with a full 1.5 inch drop but those wheels look pretty sweet

Cool
Looks really sweet the way it is now. Those wheels really set the car off, and the ride height is perfect now. IMO!

You're just cutting the stock spring to lower it? That's kind of a shitty way to get to the look you're going for. Why not get real lowering springs?

Cut off another half coil and you should be set.
