Default Post your ground clearance+stance pictures !

I've always loved the slammed look on C4's
it adds attitude,perfect stance,i don't like my stance too much
because it's still high,i have both F&R lowering kits
but they are still there,sealed and unused because
the thing that pulls me away of the installation is my ground clearance.
Long tube headers and the Derale pan are mods that i love
but i have to be careful with my car AS IT SITS ! not to
hit something...

This is my ground clearance

If you have a slammed car , how do you take care of this ?
Thanks !

I plan on lowering the back to match the front on mine!



No clearance issues up front (except car washes) so far.

Hi I'm lowering a corvette with headers,but I set it up like the c5 cars are with a T nut and lowering bolt bonded in each spring end [with thin plastic glued in spring pocket for bolt to ride on] to raise and lower it a small amount. I did it mostly to scale it but also plan to lower it for autocross events and car shows and to be able to bring it back up for normal driving.

Flush seems to be what the younger guys call it. I call it...I racked my brain to get it to that point and not even half done.

Rick I will have some more when I get brakes on it.

Joe I love the colors of your car!!

No ground clearance pics but here is the tire fit and stance of the street setup (17x10 BBS RK on all 4). No ground clearance problems with the canton oil pan and Hooker headers.

Your headers look like they come down too low, what brand?





I did have an issue with a Moroso pan
