i just had my sportlines put on yesterday..i wish i had them do the hose mod. then again im still on my stock wheels, so when i put the z06's on im sure itll look better. and also my rear tires have no tread whatsoever so im sure that plays a part.

wow.. i realy like the look of that drop, do they lower the car more then the 1.2" they should?
yeah, i'm running 315's in the back, i was a little afraid that it would rubb (it does stock)

yea thanks man, my car looks different now but that was right after the car got dropped, and yes it is more then the advertised 1.2 drop for sure! at first i was disappointed at the car being to low but then it grew on me and the ground clearance is still great but my car did get stuck on our buddys lift in his mechanic shop, my k member was hitting the jacks arms and wow it took some time to back the car up and take it out
