Looks great. I think a touch lower and come C6Z06 brakes and it would be perfect. Wish I could have found a deal like that..lol

I have the front end maxed out on C6 bolts. It should be about an inch lower but I guess people have varying results. I may take the bolt out completely and see how long my back can handle it until I get coilovers.

C6Z brakes are quite spendy. I'll attack those at a much later date. It's time for more power!

Interesting how theres variances in how low stock bolts will take your car. Wonder why?

A D1sc kit would make that car 100% perfect.

I'm starting to chock it up to different shocks and/or stiffer sway bar on the Z06 coupled that with different tire heights too, but there's plenty of Z06's that are lower than mine. It's odd, and I hate it.

D1SC, A&A Vortech, or a Novi 2000. I have plenty of research to do until I pull that trigger.
