Yeah, if you see any caterpillars in the road with a shaved streak down the center of their backs, you'll know he's been by recently...

You are all going to laugh,but it went down again another 1" today.
The lowest point of the body sits 2 and half inches off the ground.
The front skirts sit 3/4 " off the ground,I'm the nieghbor street cleaner.
That goodness the sit goes up and down,or I would never be able to get in or out of it. I have 1 inch between the front tire and the front fenders and half a inch in the rear.Looks so sweet,Rides SUPER.

Maybe you should come visit me sometime. I live on a dirt (actually sandy) road, and I think your car would be just great to smooth out the road when we get that inevitable washboard effect.

3/4 inch? Heck, around here I would be scraping the darn thing everywhere. There would be darn few driveways or parking areas I could go into.

Wish I could lower mine, but just NO way.

How about posting a few new pics of it from the front, rear, and sides on a nice flat level bit of concrete? I would like to see that.

Did you change your shocks? Or are your shocks still factory?

I lowered my Z06 and it seems to be bottomed out on the shocks from what I can tell. There is no apparent bounce any more to the spring in the front when I push on the fender.
