        That's what I was thinking. Haha your tires probably wouldn't even hit the ground, you'd just have full body contact w/ the ground.

          If you want to go THAT low, then you should get some airbags. Drop it low when you park, and raise it high enough to drive later.

                  What teal means is he is 3" off the ground, thats around a 1.5" drop. Stock height off the ground is 4.6" according to GM.

                  If you lower the car past 2" - you're asking for trouble - not to mention it will handle horribly. I do not recommend it unless you know what you're doing and are doing it for show only.

                      man. thats not that low.

                      (mumbles something about you kept tellin him you dropped it 3")

                      Dominic is right, you've got like a 1.5" drop. it looks good tho.

                      thinking of lowering my car myself. of course i might have to go with 2" drop in front, and 1.5-1" in back (cause of the decrease in front engine weight)
