grab a 10mm ratcheting wrench for the front bolts, and I think its 18mm and ?? for the rear, fronts simply turn, the rears are regular nuts and bolts, there's bushings under the front bolts that most people cut off, dont need to unless you wanna go fully slammed, the rear only goes down so far then you need to buy some longer bolts from a hardware store, again only if you wanna go slammed, did you try a search on some of the corvette forums for pics....

I'd like to post pics, but for some reason i cant upload on this thread. I'd like to help, but this board isnt to user friendly! I dont have pics of the actual install, i was just going to post a pic of a C5 lowered, very low! Dont know if you want it real low, but it was sure something to see! It was on the Power Tour this year

Look at the stud to the left of the brake line...........Our 00' coupe is lowered to 2 threads on the OEM bushings you see . You can also remove or cut the bushing down to lower it more.
This my 97', look in the same place you can see an aftermarket bolt set-up that lowers it more
