i took a bunch of during pics, but the wather got crappy this afternoon and i only got one bad "After" shot, more to come when its nice out

Give it a few days and once it settles it will look even better! So far so good! Low is the way to go!

Looks awesome! Like Alex said, give it a few days, it should settle in and give you a tiny bit more.

looks nasty! Im jealous. I want to lower mine but I cant afford to bottom out anymore. Id rather make it up my drive way and park in the garage then in the street. Im getting 17x9.5 Black c6 Is that going to mess up my ride height?

Not if you stick with a ~26" tall tire. (275/40/17)

Yeah teh hockey stripe looks good on 3rd gens. I don t like em on 4th gens. I dont think they fit the lines of the car.
