I live on a massive incline that drags stock. Can't drop my baby but I'd love to. Here's my photoshopped version I did to see what it would look like!

I live in NYC, before that I lived in Boston. Drove the car in the city, since that's where I live. Car is on 04 shocks and lowered all the way on the stock bolts, and I have 305s on the reat on low profile 19"s. Sure the ride is a little harsh and I have to dodge potholes, but the car is totally driveable. If I can drive my car in Manhattan and Boston, I don't want to hear any complaints about lowered cars.

Not to be a jerk but your car is not lowered as much as you say. The frame would be on the ground if it was. 2 inches is a lot on a C5. Beautiful cars by everyone....I just have a thing with people throwing numbers around that are not accurate.

19s all around and 305s outback. Much better lateral, worst straightline, the PZeros can't hook up at all. Can't say before & after 1/4 times but I can see that it looks like it lost a few hp (different dyno and different tunes).
