I lowered my TR '99 FRC on the stock bolts right after I bought it. I only dropped it around 3/4" to 1", and then I had it re-aligned. It's a little hard on the front spoiler with it lowered, but in my case the stock shocks still work fine.
For those asking - the C5's have a ride height bolt at all 4 corners. You can drop it about 1" by backing off these bolts to the end of the threads. Or you can buy longer bolts and drop it even further.
Here is how mine has been riding for the past 3 years.

You can do about 2" with the bolt spacers/rubber stops removed and still retain good shock travel.

Not sure what springs you used, but when I lowered my SS, I did the rear first. Then a month later I did the fronts and freaked out because the front was higher. I didn't know about springs settling.
The driveway is at a slope, but I did raise the back 3/4"

Looks great. I slammed my 01 when I got it but when I added the turbo kit, I had to raise it just over an inch. That sucks.

Can someone post up a pic of where I can find these lowering bolts or say exactly where I can find them in lay mans terms. Just bought my first vette ever yesterday.
