Default Lowered Vert pics

Those of you with lowered convertibles, please post corner & side pics with the drop-top down and specify which lowering kit you have. I think the coupe with the H&Rs is drop-dead gorgeous (I'm very biased, of course), but I suspect a fully dropped vert is even more so. I'd like to check it out. (If I get my dream SVR, it might be a vert).

For those who are thinking of lowering your convertible, Gregg and I swapped cars for a short bit. Compared to my coupe (base with no active suspension) I think his lowered convertible rides better. It drove smoother and there was less head toss and bounciness. It also looks amazing!

Looks really good with the VAPs. Any verts out there on H&Rs?

It's funny - and I am not planning on doing it - but coming out of the grocery store yesterday, with bright sun light hitting the car, the gap between car and tires was shockingly noticeable*. I totally get why anyone would want to lower the car.

*This, after close to 3 years of ownership. Man does the time fly!!!

I have the same issue. Most of the time I tell myself, it's fine the way it is; which includes the 19" OEM wheels. But then I see pictures like this and rethink it. Maybe I do need lowering springs and 20" wheels. My wife insists I have issues.

Tell her you can save money on not buying spacers by buying custom wheels! You're being frugal.
