Not too much worse than the 460s. On bad roads, you can definitely feel it more, but my kidneys don't mind.
I have not installed new shocks for 10 years, so might find a definite improvement from that. :) Only problem is $$$. Could be months before the car is appropriately fitted.

gee I wish I could do that to my car but there are too many bumps and parking lots entry curbs that would cause damage.
But that looks great :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Looks great. have to agree with previous, how do you keep from destroying your front spoiler? Maybe hasn't happended yet. Even at my height I scrape a lot. I did the reverse, I brought up the wheels to meet the car i.e. 17" rims and kept my deep sump pan/ headers/ spoiler off the asphault. Keep me appraised. If your spoiler fairs well I might re-think it, really looks slick.

My '76 is lowered exactly the same amount on the front end. I have to be sure to go over speed bumps fairly quickly or I'll hear a very unnerving SCREEAAAAAACH as the car scrapes the ground. Still, it gives the car a very menacing stance that I love. Just glad I don't have one of those front spoilers.

I lowered mine last month. Hit pothole, tire hit fender, fender has nice big 14" crack. Raised it back up after that.

Re: New sig pic / pic of lowered vette... (Maurice)
I've been driving it a full week now and no problems.
My driveway has a pretty steep angle, and I went into it a "little angry" last night, no scrape. :) I've yet to run into a huge pothole, but I usually drive around those.
