I looked at that for a while... and couldn't figure out why they would design it like that?? It didn't look very strong either, although I'm not much of a ME. On the stock C5 of course the suspension adjustment is done via the lower control arm, although some people shim the upper arm mounting points for additional adjustment.
While I am bitching about the GTM, I didn't like the idea of placing stock C5 gas tanks right next to the exhaust manifolds (though I'm not really sure I've seen where the SL-C's are), nor the nearly zero clearance between the front of the motor and the firewall (any maintenance seemed like it would require pulling the whole thing).
