Default Before/After Pics of lowering on stock bolts

Lowered the c5 on stock bolts and cut the bushings. Heres some before/after pics..

BEFORE:

4 Random photos before lowering that show just how much wheel well space there was before lowering(first pic is me, 2nd g/f)...looks like a monster truck











AFTER:
Almost no wheel well gap. Been a few days and havent felt any sacrifice in the ride, except for the fact that it feels much tighter, love it! (sorry for the crappy quality of all these pics)









FINAL THOUGHT:

Love the results! Definetly worth the time and effort. Might even buy longer bolts for the back so I can lower it just a little bit more

It looks good, but there seems to be a rash of girls sitting on vette's lately. Unless you're wearing micro-fiber pants, I'll be glad to pull up a chair for you.
