LOTS of info if you do a search....

1.25" spacer will be required for the rears to fit. Fronts will fit fine with no spacer.

Just mounted mine today. I used 1.25" spacers on the rears with no body modifications.

The rear wheels will stick out a bit but nothing too bad.

Im lowered almost 2". I have the stock c6 wheels with 295/30/19 & 275/35/18. 1 1/4" adapter in the rear. I had a tiny spot that took bfh and had to roll the fenders.

stock springs but they have 190,000 on them and the front looks lower than stock, going to do the heater hose mod in the back.

i'm running stock size '06 C6 tires (285/35 rear and forgot the fronts)
