The best is the happy medium between stock and slammed.

Slammed looks the best, stock is the most practical. The right spot between is different for everyone.

My Trans Am had the Pro-Kit...... loved it!












My vette stock ride height.......














Slammed the vette Much better! Slammed FTMFW! On an f-body, i agree with the majority though, that average drop looks great. Vettes handle clearances a lot better than f-bodies so I can get away just fine being slammed.

I like the lowered look, just wish the ride was a bit smoother. Owell it looks cool going down the road!

This summer I installed a BMR front K-member, Lower A-arms, QA1's with the street springs. Rear is all BMR aswell with LCA drop brackets, Ajustable panhard bar, Panhard bar drop bracket, 1" drop springs and QA1 shocks.

here is everything I've done since I purchased last Feb.

You can have a much smoother ride, you just need the right suspension.

definetly lowered, stock is just a bit too high for my taste. Prokit right now, getting ready for QA1s up front.
