Lowerd ZO6 Questions???????

when you lower a ZO6 with the stock bolts (or longer ones in the rear and stock ones in front, thats what i am seeing for the zo6 to work) how bad does it affect the ride quality? no changing anything else

I lowered mine half a inch all around and it made no difference I could feel.

mine is lowered about 2.5"...Not sure if its still on stock bolts. Ride isnt much stiffer than stock and it handles very well. It does not like speed bumps or driveways too much though.

Lowered with stock bolts, no changes in ride qualities at all.
