anyone lowered C5 with this kit
Looks like a pretty complete kit and at a good price. Just wondering how low these bushings make the front. Im lowered on stock bolts now and lookin to go another probably 1/2 in.

I'm sure the (ZIP) front bushing would be close to the size of your front cut 2/3. Cutting all of your front bushings off in the front is no easier than leaving 1/3. See sig.

Cut the front bushings with a Sawzall without taking anything apart. Get longer rear bolts,grade 8, from a fastener store or hardware if they have 8's. Worked for me.
