Continental Sport Contact 2's

*I was just at my garage and someone new in the neighborhood was giving me compliments on my car and how clean it was and said they really noticed that "fat sway bar." LOL

Hey, 91LSMAN; what's the measurements turn out to be at your fenders? (Yes, I know most everyone says measure at jack points...)Got mine down as low as it'll go on the stock bolts, the front fenders are right around 26 7/16" and the rear is around 27 1/2". I'm satisfied with the height of the rear, but the RF was around 26 1/2" before I adjusted the bolt and would love to get it down at least another 3/8". That said I'm taking it to Firestone in the morning for some new Bridgestone 265/40/17s front and 305/35/18 Nitto 555RII along with an alignment. The shop mentioned a lifetime alignment, where they will check and re align for free as long as you own the car, I may do that just in case I end up getting aftermarket bolts for the front!

Lookin' good!
Don't worry...it will settle even further. Just give it some time. It took a couple of months before my current ride settled down to where it is now after having it lowered. Same for the original Red Racer a few years ago.

I'm not worried.

It's my only car. But as an onsite property manager, I can't really call it a daily driver anymore. I drive it in all weather, but it gets driven mainly on evenings, weekends, and lunch breaks.

Hey my apologies for coming into this thread so late, just wanted to say thanks for being a customer and thanks for posting up with the pics! Red C5s are hot! We argue all the time about the best color on C5s and C6s, but I always come back to red for sure!
