I thought I would throw this out there to the folks in the forum. The idea of lowering my car is certainly appealing. I think the car sits up too high in the back..
I like the look of the cars that I have seen posted that are lowered. Now, here is my concern.
Has anyone noticed any loss in handling once they have lowered their car. I have seen plenty of good cars that once they were lowered became ill-handling beasts. Many times the owner thought his car handled better, but putting the car back closer to stock actually worked for, rather than against the car. (this is not corvette specific, but just a genralization)
I am much more concerned with functionality rather than form. If one of you auto-x guys has any input it would be appreciated.
Also once you lower the car I assume you will need to re-align the car.
Also once the car is lowered, is every pebble in the street now a major obstacle, and are parking lot speed bumps the equivilant of Mt. Everest?
Just Curious,
