Default Position of stock lowering bolts and track use

i have read several threads on using lowering bolts to drop car down some. i have see conflicting messages on if this causes tire rubbing on a road course track when they are set to their lowest position. i definitely plan on tracking the car and i see lots of folks here with experience tracking their cars and would like to know where your lowering bolts are set and if you have experienced any rubbing. i just got my car last week and it seems high to me, i checked the bolts and there is about 1/2 inch of movement to their lowest position. thoughts appreciated.

Hello Stubbygda,

I've tracked my fully lowered Z51 with magnetic ride at Mid-Ohio, Mont-Tremblant and Watkins Glen Int'l, running in the Black run group, and have never heard a rub.

Regards,

Joe
