Question on lowering the vette
I have a C5 Z that was lowered on stock boltsand had an alignment done. Since then I have swaped out wheels and tires and now due to a shorter tire (325 vs. 305) I have a little bit of a larger gap between the wheelwell and the top of the tire. I am going to lower it a half inch (i may shave bushing which is popular to do on the C5) to get the stance I want FOR THE REAR ONLY.
Is it necessary to get another alignment if I am going another half inch in the rear? I just need to know if its going to make enough of a difference to eat the **** out of my tires.
Thanks

Vette's are 4 wheeled alligned, but it's up to you on the rear.
I got mine realligned afterwards.
If you need some rear lowering bolts, I have a spare set if you need them for cheap.
Just shoot me a PM.

i'd put some long aftermarket ones in there while your under the car, in that case if you want to slam it you wont have to pull the cut bushing ones out. sometimes they can be a pain to get out/in. but thats mainly the fronts.

Im hoping Black2001Z06 responds to me. I just need a price. Front looks great, its the rear I need to drop a little. Im not looking to "slam it", just need to drop it some more. I agree through with getting longer bolts. If I take it another half inch, you thing I should get another alignment XtremeBBQ, being I just had one....thanks. Dont know how much a half inch would throw things off
