Looks good, why does the car seem to be sitting so high, since they are 17's like stock ws6 rims?

No F'in way would I lower it. It looks like your exhaust only has a few inches of ground clearance as it is. Speedbumps will own you Anyways, the car looks awesome. I actually dislike red cars, but your car looks really sharp

Adust the exaust and lower it, the one thing that is seperating your car for "nice" to BAD *** is the ride height. At least some BMR or Hotchkis for a 1 inch lowering. I had a prokit and Kooks on my WS6 and the y-pipe barely ever scraped. Plus even when it does you have a little play.

Man wierd that my wheels are on your car

This is a pick of my old WS6 see how much better it looks lowered. Plus you wanna try low try driving my VETTE around I think I have literally 4 inches of clearance if that. I can barely get a 2 x6 under it to drive up on to get a scissor jack to get it up so I can put my low profile racing jack under it My front air damn trips the staging lights early messed me up the first time at the track.

LOWER THAT bitch

Yeah the bling bling look is growing on me. I'm going to wait until CCW gets more tools for 1 pc 18 inch wheel selections and if they don't in the next year or so I'll go with some I-forged. I wish I could see a set of Profile 5 Fikse's on a C5 in person. I love Fikse wheels but I don't like the way they look on C5's as much as I do on F-bodies.

And yes you HAVE to lower it I'm sorry if you want a bling mobile F-body it is a prerequisite

Lower it. You have plenty of room for a 1 inch drop. You can bring those pipes up a tick.
