I am not sure how much lower it is than stock. I dropped the front end by pulling the stock springs out and cutting one full coil off of them by using a die grinder with a cut off blade. It dropped the front down to 26" from the ground to the center of the lip on the fender. I researched this on the forum and I took a chance by cutting a full coil out. On most of the threads people are taking off 3/4 to 1 1/2 coils.

On the rear I ordered 10" bolts (grade 8) from VBP (forum sponsor). The rear is sitting around 27 1/4" from the ground to the lip.

I am running 17" tires on front and rear but the front tires are a little bit shorter than the rears.

You know, 73ls1. I like this look too! Excellent choice in rims. The black top completes the package. Hot looking Vette. BTW - what kind of rims are those??? Thanks. BK3
