Default Lowering on factory bolts, before/after pics

Just got my C7 yesterday from Southern Motor Company. 2014 Z51 2LT in the exact spec I was looking for! Rode a little high, so lowered on the factory bolts this morning and it made a nice difference! About 3/4" ish all around. I could see more low looking better but the car rides so perfect right now (Z51 + Mag ride) that I wouldn't want to mess with it yet.

Anyway, thought I'd share the before/after.

That looks much better.

How is it on entry/exit to driveways?

My under bumper plastic wings(Z51) scrape when I leave my sub but I think I'm pretty far from the actual bumper.

Better....you might try to take pictures of only the front and only the back wheels/tires.


You can see the difference up close much better.

Drove a couple hours tonight. Feel is great. No issues with the driveway, which is quite a bump coming out of. Will get alignment inspected to be safe, but felt perfect.
