[PIC] Ride Height Comparison (Stock vs Max Stock Bolts vs Max C6 Bolts)

Guys:

Something I put together the other night showing :

1.) Stock Height....
2.) Lowered MAX on the stock Bolts
3.) Lowered MAX in the front with C6 bolts, and longer bolts in the rear to match the height of the front.

Hope this gives a "visable" range of ride height to the guys that need to know.

How far did it go down on the stock bolts? 1.5"?

Car looks great.

It's hard to believe how high some of these cars sit at stock height. I can barely look at my old photos.

I've never seen a stock Z06 sit that high, but I get your point. Mine isn't as slammed on C6 fronts, but it's close.

hows it do on dips in the road at 45-85mph?

My rear is that low on longer bolts and I've rubbed some tire away.
Fronts are bottomed out on stock bolts.. may be picking up a set of the C6 ones.

(also just put C6 shocks, C5z06 sways and metal end links)

Looks so much better lowered.

Looked like a 4x4 in the stock pic.

Thanks ! I wish I measured it back then. I had it lowered max one day I was over at LG's when I got the LG Pro's put on. Made sence since the car was lifted.

Its shocking how high it was originally. It hurts my eyes seeing it that high back then...

I have not had any issues yet. Texas is fairly flat though...

Your right they will in some cases. I picked the tires to be the closest to stock diameter as possible so as not to mess up the speedo, traction control, or the active handling

Front 19"x10 - 275/30-19
Rear 19x11 - 305/30-19
