Default Lowered on H&R springs and MM Spacers
Got the v lowered the other day on H&R springs and MM spacers. It actually rides pretty well. Not the best lighting but they were quick pictures after a wash. Now I need to order z06 endlinks.

Picking the grills up today from the shop had them painted.

stock 245/45-18 Goodyear Eagle RS-A's. Had the wheels at full lock a couple of times while moving and I didnt hear any rubbing and it rides pretty darn good too.

Nice, that's the answer I was expecting. I love the look of a blacked out grill.

I need to do this next. Call me crazy but I prefer a slight 'raked' look.

Does anyone have pics w/o the spacers? I'd like to see if its too much rake for me...

damn I have no clue is there a difference? I actually didnt think about that.

Also fedex dropped of my spoiler yesterday. I test fitted it yesterday and it looks to fit and line up good and cant wait to install it. (yup ebay spoiler already painted)

You will be at stock ride height in the rear. It looks retarded to be honest.

x2...i swapped the rear springs first (didnt take a picture) and lowered the car off the lift, and there was no visible change in the ride height. I measured it to see if there was, and it did lower a little (3/8"). After I stalled the spacers, the wheel tucked nicely into the well (275/40 tires), and total rear drop was about 1.5".

IMO (and everyone else i bet), if you do lowering springs do some form spacers. weather is its MightyMouse (which are very good) or you can make your own.
