Here you go. After I lowered the Z06 on the stock bolts I took it in for the 500 mile oil service and had the dealer complete a 4 wheel alignment. Car is tight loving it. This picture is at 212 miles before the alignment.

Looks great! Any scrapping issues? Also did you find that the car needed to be aligned or you just did it just to do it...Some say you don't need alignment when lowering on stock bolts.
Fasttoys that looks HOT! That is what the Z needed. I tired of the 4x4 factory shipping look. Dropping it makes a world of difference. Love the combo too. I will be picking mine up in March time frame and that is the first thing I am doing.
Good question by Blvdbrawler above. Was the alignment off after you lowered it?

Thanks for the pic.
No problem with rubbing when lowered to the lowest setting on the factory bolts. The Z06 bolts look to be longer than my C7 Z51. A C7 chassis engineer told me the standard shocks, suspension & MRC are designed to accept a H/L variance on the factory bolts. I also feel many cars coming out of BG are slightly off. This is my second Corvette this year and both were not in factory specs. When I received my Z06 I was not pleased with the steering & ride height. I asked my service advisor to set the alignment to factory specs just like my C7 Z51. Now when the Z is in the most aggressive driver mode (I use the race setting as default) the Z feels tighter and more dialed in. If you decide lower the car or keep the car at the original height, I still recommend the complementary alignment from GM before your miles exceed a few thousand. According to the magazines, the press cars are set to racing specs. I decided to keep mine at non race specs, the race specs are in your owner’s manual. Sorry this was typed from my IPhone without my glasses... Happy holidays
That is just flat out sexy! I'm so glad I went with the black wheels on my LB now. How far did you go with the stock bolts sir? I am a bit worried as I will have the CFV ground effects also.

Looking good, fast. Did you get your rear that low without cutting the back rubber bump stops? Haven't seen anyone get that low without cutting the bumpers at least 75%.

They are all the way down except for a small amount to level things out on or two of them. Requires a 4 wheel alignment at the same time.
When these cars are lowered like this, are they close to riding on the snubbers? It just seems strange how easily they are lowered, and people say they ride and drive fine.
