mmm lower is better
installed my lowering springs from Summit  claim for 1-1.5" drop, i measured lil more then half an inch just after install. also while i was in there i put some new Energy Suspension sway bar bushing and end links up front
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
"before"
rear old vs new
rears installed, took all of 20 minutes for both lol
fresh undercoating while i had it apart
THIS IS FOR TED! pic of the front GFX with the clips they used lol
the fronts installed
Crappy "After" pic

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?

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.
