Can you DAILY Drive a SLAMMED C8 Corvette?
Ladies and gentlemen, today I take you on a ride along in my 2023 C8 Corvette that I recently had lowered almost 2". I wanted to clear up questions some have had about being able to daily drive a lowered C8. I hope this helps.

Well done on this video. I have NO intention of lowering my C8 when it comes in about a year. I feel the engineers of the C8 know more than I do concerning the handling characteristics and quality in DAILY use. The Mag-ride is an option I intend to have.

I owned a 2020 non mag ride coupe lowered the exact same way as you and regretted it after a couple weeks...yes it looked great but it became no fun to drive and rode like absolute garbage, i think you are understating how bad it rides compared to stock. You mentioned some other things that you see as benefits that i didn't get at all such as squat....barely noticeable.....truly the only real tangible benefit is looks PERIOD! I currently own a 23 HTC with mag ride and will not even consider lowering it. Its a much better driving experience not having to worry about every bump in the road and having to change your route to destinations. I appreciate your honesty at the end tho....i still cant believe you passed on mag ride from the beginning.

@kerry_glock Год назад

Great Information, but with Z51, Front Lift & Mag Ride I don’t plan to “modify my suspension” in any way after paying more than $10,000 for those options/packages. Thanks for sending my prize out, the R1 Concepts T-Shirt (Harley Earl question). It arrived on Tuesday. Thanks to the Octane Hour Guys and BOS Channel. BTW: My Buddy Don got his C8 from a Pittsburgh area dealership February 6. Looking forward to seeing it once the stones get cleared from the roads!

@legod1717 Год назад

Great Video Mike! Yes your car looks amazing too!👍 I too have a non Z51 and non Mag ride. I also live up north where the roads are not very good. I will not be lowering my car for many of the reasons you talked about here. I really like the ride as it stands now and would not want it any stiffer than it already is. If I had the Z51 I would consider it but not in my situation now. As always, to each his own. Thanks again!😎

Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it. I totally understand, it’s definitely not for everyone.

Another great video. But it's to each its own on lowering there vehicle. Also a while back you spoke in regards to a Texas bank I believe on getting a wonderful rate like leasing it. A reminder would be greatly appreciated because I'm close to ordering my C8. Ty

@thiosemicarbizidebenzoylal2921 Год назад

I just viewed the MSS performance spring video. It would give you the lowering and performance you seek on this car.

@JaySchu-C8Z06 Год назад

Hi Mike,..... I really think you did an outstanding job addressing the factors involved with Lowering your C8. Quick question came to me as I was watching your car....... When you got the car wrapped, was it necessary to put PPF ontop of the wrap, to protect the paint, or is the wrap 'thick enough' to protect the paint and not require PPFon top? Thanks for all of the great content you are providing. Cheers

@stevedolan5065 Год назад

It definitely looks more exotic, more bad ass! Is it practical for most people…probably not. I lowered my Nissan 280zx back in the 80s…I liked the look, but not the ride quality. The Good, the bad and the ugly…I’ve kept my C6 stock. I’m old now…I don’t need nor want the rougher ride. Just my $.02…

@Vetteman372 Год назад

I think lowering the car does make it look good,. But the hassles of worrying about it, if you're gonna hit the bottom of the car when you drive, it's not worth it. Besides that, it doesn't look bad, to begin with.

@BrinkofSpeed Год назад

I totally get that, and it’s definitely not for everyone. 😊

@timcampbell901 Год назад

Good job Brink. Not going to lower mine i like the factory look and since my wife drives it sometime I do not have to worry about the splitter as much

@thiosemicarbizidebenzoylal2921 Год назад

Update. You need to watch the full video on Moto IQ about suspension and lowering. It is far more complex than people understand it to be, and this guy is a expert on suspension tuning. Please reply back after watching.

@stymie09 Год назад

Thanks for the evaluation, Mike. Having driven a C8 for several years, road dips and speed humps present a problem even at stock ride height. So in my case lowering the car presents somewhat of a peril. But there are times when it would be nice to just press a switch and have the car stance change lower. I've wondered why Chevrolet didn't integrate a lowering capability in the C8's mag-ride and front lift ... 1.5" lowering for track mode would be perfect.

@kurtthomas4746 Год назад

Hi, Your car looks great, it does look cool lowered, however it’s not for me, when you do this you take travel away from your shocks, which IMO , negatively affects ride quality, but like you said, there are give and take. I like the look, but would not do it to mine. Great video, keep up the good work.

@BrinkofSpeed Год назад

Thank you Kurt, I’m glad you enjoyed it. 👍😊

@thiosemicarbizidebenzoylal2921 Год назад

If you are not building a sports car for performance then you have goal different than intended purpose. Lowering is meant for track in the sports car world, and aesthetics is a byproduct. For the road, it is a complete gamble for the underside. I thought the car looked fine either way.

@robertbass974 Год назад

I lowered my C7 Z06 and it looked great but I scared every driveway and my splitter hit anything 2 inches tall! I got to the point of not wanting to drive it so I put it back to stock height. I love it again!

@kantisdel1 Год назад

Can’t see risking scraping up a car for the look of a car. 👀👀👀.

@tonye2920 Год назад

Since you lowered it when you do use the lift it pretty much raises it back up to stock height?

@earld.7017 Год назад

I'm going to run out and lower my car and hopefully my wife will not want to ride in it anymore🤣🤣

@petercarey6883 Год назад

I hear everything you say about now that it's lowered about having to choose the roads you drive on. But I've pretty much done that all my life no matter vehicle I've been driving. So, did you make a mistake by lowering your C8? Here's my two-word response. HELL NO! Don't get used to these short comments Mike. I do have a reputation to maintain as The Man of Few Words. 🤣 Save the Wave even though it's from lower position. 😁

I just saw a RU-vid video 6/9/2023 where the person related GM will void the warranty if collars are used to lower the C8. He had his Service Front Lift Notice come on and took it to a Chevy dealership. He said the repair out of warranty will cost about $2,000. Carlos of Nu Horizon C8 was his name as I recall. Just FYI

@scottfiresign953 10 месяцев назад

Hey Mike love the lowered look. I have a 2020 HTC Z51 with mag ride, no lift. Planning to lower it down on the factory coil overs. Shouldn't change the ride quality and will only lower it about 3/4". You're about an inch lower than that, plus you're running the larger wheels so you lost a little dampening from your smaller sidewalls. Almost did that rim setup, but decided not to for ride quality and fear of rim damage. So wonder if you know anyone that lowered theirs on the factory coil overs and what their experience was as to rubbing. Cheers Scott

Not a fan of lowering. I mentioned this before about the track alignment. Contrary to others opinion that it's impossible to lower by just a track alignment is not true! It will lower your car and the car will handle better. Tire wear will NOT be compromised.

@cn3dagain819 Год назад

Doesn't sound like very much fun, having to worry about the car scraping the ground all the time. Constantly thinking about scraping the body is not a relaxing drive. Takes some of the enjoyment out of the car. I'll keep mine at factory specs and save a bundle of money to boot. Not to mention what it does to the geometry of the alignment. Just lowering and no alignment adjustment doesn't sound like a good idea to me. But you go ahead and enjoy it.

@philsalley3278 Год назад

Gotta love the convoluted logic earlier on suggesting you take a different, smoother road to offset the terrible ride of the lowered car. The long and short answer is NO, don't do it. As for aesthetics of the car. All I can say is beauty is in eyes of the beholder and for my eyes it's a big NO again. It looked so much better before you messed it up. If attention was your goal, okay. Enhancing it's looks, no.
