Depends on how low you want to go...
I have a 00 WS6 with Eibach sportlines, KYB AGX's, and subframe connectors!
I scrape on a few high speed bumps but usually dont have a problem as long as I go slow. I think the car looks tough being low and there is no fender gap.
Also the ride isn't too bad...it does get alittle bouncy at times on some roads, but corners like a ****.

Damn Tuffluck the car looks great! 
Do ya have any other pictures of her? It looks just like mine, except you have the Z06's, and she's lowered. I'm certainly glad I saw one from a side profile like that. Now I want to lower it sooner!
I'm still on the fence though on whether I want chrome or silver Z06's.

I had to make the 3/4 front shot with the hills in the background the wallpaper for my computer at work. Everybody that's passed by it, has said what a nice car YOU have. (I have to keep correcting them saying it's not mine)

Hey Mitchntx, you can definitely tell a difference between the Pro-kit and the G2 Supers (G2's are LGM right?) But how is the ride quality? I cut the factory springs on mine about two coils front and rear. It worked out great at first, it gave me the look that I wanted and the ride wasn't changed much. Now the ride is alot stiffer and handles not so great. I guess the stock shocks have worn out?? I'm not very comfortable taking hard turns anymore. I can feel a lot of body roll and the rear quarter panels actually cut into my tires!
I am getting the fenders rolled regardless. What package would be good for me so that it corners good but rides like stock? This car is almost an everyday driver. I have about 400RWHP as well so I need something that isn't going to reduce traction at slow speeds. I barely drag but love to race from a roll (no rear yet.) Should I keep my springs and just change my shocks or ditch them both? I've heard the BMR's look good and give stock ride but I'm not sure on the handling.
Put it this way, I've driven my friends stock rides and they seems high performance compared to what my car is like now. I guess I just want to get rid of the bodyroll and jarring ride. Stock performance is fine to me. Thanks for any advice. Mike.

Just installed my dms springs and love the stance, the front is perf. the rear is perfect for my car since my true duals hangs low, just gottah slap on my zo6 wheels that ive waited for four months and ill be a very happy guy. So far Ive cleared all the speedbumps in my area and the ride quality is still the same untill my shocks gives up then ill go w/ the kybs.

I have Ground Control coil overs and Koni SA shocks. I love the way my car rides and handles. I haven't had the chance to take it to the track yet. The only problem I have is that my ORY scrapes everyonce in a while on speed bumps and on some entrances with a decreasing radius entrance. I just need to fab something up to get my ORY from hanging so low. Oh, I have my Z28 droped 1 1/2 all around.

I used to run the Hotchkiss Springs, with the Hotchkiss Sway Bars, with Bilstien HD's at the track with no issues :-) Roadraced all day long heck almost every weekend. BUT I heard VERY good things about Global West Coilovers, with Koni's and a Global West Track Link
