You should DEFINITELY drop it....i'd recommend on stock bolts to start.

Front bolts all the way down + cut bushings. Rear longer bolts. 2" drop F/R. I have since raised the rear about .25" I think it helped a little maybe I still scrape speed bumps/humps. Oh well.

Whoa! Great pics and examples of some of the nicest lowered C5 rides! And, FRANKAAAAY! Brother, how ya been mang?! Honestly, IMHO, your gorgeous Z16 remains to be one of the most stunning, and, tastefully modded C5's that I have ever seen, hands down!!!

Hey Chris, I see you found the forum.

I cut my front bushings completely off and 1/3 out of each bushing in the rear. Id say the car lowered about 1-3/4" to 2" all around.

Dont worry about the air dam. It is on a spring swivel type bracket and should only suffer minor scrapes. Jumping curbs is not recommended, even at stock height...

Mine is lowered on stock bolts. I think I may go lower, I will see how it looks when I mount my 18/19 wheel combo first!
