Default GY Billboards: at rest and in motion...

Post your favorites. Just took these over the weekend on the way to C&C. Many more in my gallery. Kudos to Brian ("496FE") for trying to steer his beast while snapping pics doing 70+ down the 55 Freeway.

26.5 inches to the top of the wheel well arch on mine.

As you can see in my picture, the lowest point is the bellhousing. And yes, it has scraped a few times. No rubbing of the tires on the body.

Thanks.

The last time I checked my rear fender height is about 26.75". I may drop it another 1/4", at most. For some reason a couple of the other freeway pics make the car look like it's still a little high in the back.

And no rubbing issues at this height either. Ground clearance is always a compromise with these beasts.

Well I was going from memory, and I was wrong.

Front is 26 1/8 and the rear is 26 1/4.

Just returned from having the Billboards mounted at Discount Tire. What a different ride. Handling is much improved.
