Decided to see how low it is....
I lowered my car on stock bolts. The rear is all the way and front is all the way with bushings cut in half. My whole driveway is sloped to wash right into the garage, so when we re-did the garage we raised the floor 1'' and then made a little ''V'' like pad in front of the garage for the water to run off to the side of the garage. I hear the air dam scrap every time I pull out of the garage, but wasn't ever sure how close my splitter was to...So I took some pictures.

That would never work here in Florida with all the speed bumps and the way the driveways are set to allow for the rain runoff. Not sure how you will drive it with the pot holes you get in that part of the country. Now if you don't care about the splitter then go for it.

The next speedbump you feel won't be a speedbump, it will be you running over that splitter afting hitting a large pebble.

I hope roads and driveways are flat in your area. That's cutting it pretty close

Looks great but way to low to drive around here!

I think it looks awesome.... Reminds me of like a GT3 racer or something with that splitter so close to the ground. Good luck keeping it on there though, because even the racecar drivers have trouble keeping theirs, and they're on a buttery smooth track. Here in California, I scrape the nose of my car EVERYWHERE and mine is at stock height

BTW people, the vette doesn't actually sit this low, it is only this low when pulling out of the garage. Here is a picture on my driveway, out of the garage.

It has been lowered for about a month or so now and driven easy 2,000 miles and has been fine.
LOL. I like your style.
Thanks.
See, proof! LOL
