Default Want to drop Z even lower

I've dropped my vette as low as I can on those stock bolts. What would I have to do to get the thing slammed? Would I need to buy aftermarket lowering bolts, where and how much are these bolts?

For the rear you can go to the hardware store and buy grade8 bolts that are longer then your stock ones. For the front you can remove the adjuster bolt. You should buy Bilstiens or shorter shocks because the lower you go the less travel you have.

The best would be coilovers which I have but they are a few $$$$

I'll be using the grade 8 bolts for the rear. As for the fronts, you just remove the bolts, will the tires scrub the fenderwells when u go over a bump or launch at the track?
