I've had my featherlites since Feb I think. I run the C6 Z51 sways. I tried my car that low when I first installed them. Ride felt like it was bottoming out all the time. When I took it to MSI in Roseville, had them corner balance and align the car and keep it as low as possible and still keep proper suspension geometry. My fronts look similar to yours but the rear is for sure higher.
I too am still trying to dial them in. When I think I'm close and drive it for a while.... it starts feeling like they need to be adjusted again. Frustrating. Yet it's still better than it was lowered with the stock suspension.
My car can be sketchy when hitting a bump on a corner. But I think it was like that stock as well.

Curious, when your car is on the ground...... how much room is there from your shock to the bumpstop? It's why I ended up raising mine up some before taking it in to the shop. Had maybe 1/2" of compression travel.

Same setup here^^^but with the drag specific coilovers. Obviously going "that" low is not practical for the racing I do I would love that look for every day, but would have to get an alignment every time I raise and lower it

Its just his, and mine, and many peoples preference. Never liked convertibles. Just hate the look. But as much as I love the coupe, Im sure you love the vert. You know the saying: to each their own. Thats the beauty of it and gives the variety of amazing cars we have on here.
