That looks sweet. The Z06 really looks better lowered.

Looks good! Just don't take it to Louisiana. You'll probably lose half your suspension. lol. Do you clear speed bumps okay?

Thanks guys, So far so good. Only scrapes has been the air dam. Have been over a couple speed bumps and alls well there. I always either take them very carefull or go around the world to miss them anyway.LOL.....Here are a couple pics that may help some who are unsure how low it is. These pic's have 2x6's one on top of the other. Thay measure exactly 3 Inches. They are placed under drivers door. They do not touch the car but you can't get anything else between board and underside of car. Hope that sheds light on how low it is.

First pic underneath from passenger side of car across to drivers side

From front to rear on drivers side

I have more if you anyone needs them

Oh, that looks very reasonable. I am not even planning on lowering mine that far, and the speed bumps I have to go over are a bit shorter. Thanks a-lot.

BTW, I'm not far from you. I actually live in Marietta, but I am moving to Kennesaw in the spring.

like mentioned before make sure you defintely get an alignment after dropping it like that... also you will probably be looking into some new shocks if you haven't already

I got my rear bolts from zip corvette my fronts are C6 bolts which only came in a kit of 4 and a really nice member on the board here gave me a great deal on two he had left over. Now I have seen somewhere the C6 bolts sold as only 2 bolts for the C5 but I will have to look around and find where I saw them.

Will I need the C6 bolts to lower 1" in the front and 1.5" in the back? I was told I should be able to do that with stock bolts, but I was thinking of going with ARP's.
