Default Lowering a C5Z

Has anyone done this on stock bolts?....
How hard are they to lower?....
Does anyone know a shop that would do this?...
If yes, how much would they charge?....

My car looks like lifted yellow silverado...

its kinda hard to f up if you go all the way down... in the front (using a 10mm wrench) just pull the bushings as close to the spring as possible.. and on the rear loosen the nut n bolt untill the nut on the top is at the end of the threads and your done with your ~1" drop

I PM'd Ryne @ CMS for a price quote... If it isnt too much for me... I'll try what you said( It doesn't seem as hard as I thought)

My buddy lowered his C5 on stock bolts. Just take measurements before and after to make sure that everything is nice and even. Check the corvette forum for more info. My buddy ended up trading his C5 for a C6 and he lowered the C6 on stock bolts just like the C5.
