I'd like to lower my 2008 Z06 using the stock lowering bolts. How much lowering height can I expect using the stock lowering bolts? Thanks for your replies.

I just did this not to long ago, I got about 1 inch all the way around which I am happy with. I have read that you can cut the rubber stoppers on the end of the bolt to get more out of it.

I've never seen a C6 of any kind get anywhere near 1" of lowering without cutting the bushings.
I have had 4 C6's including one Z06. The rears I've seen are the problem. About 1/4" on the rear is all I've seen and about 3/4" on the front.
I have a 2011 grand sport. The right rear bolt turned 1 1/2 turns. The left rear bolt turned 1/2 turn. Both bolts were maxed out. That equates to about 1/32".
The 2009 Z06 I had only lowered 3/8" in the back. Front could have gone a little lower than that.

i just went as low as i could in the front with the stock ones, and in the rear i bought some rubber bushings off ebay that allow you to remove the stock bolts cut off the old 1'' thick bushing and replace with the 1/4'' ones. then set those as low as possible. looks perfect i have just over a fingers gap between tire and fender. never actually measured it looks great though and not so low i drag on everything well the plastic air dam does but it did before.

Hey Marc,

Bring that Z06 up to Hoodoo and let's race! Details on upcoming events at http://www.autoxclub.org/ and our Facebook site at http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=73528508958

Take the bushings and trim them about 1/2 inch. Mine lowered about 1 and 1/2 inch looks good but it is way low.
