Stock Ride Height????
OK so I have a 98 C5 with a whole bunch of upgrades done this winter. I need to really work on my ride height. When I bought the car it was already lowered on stock bolts and the rubber on the bottom of the front bolts had been trimmed off. It is running z06 springs at the moment. I am sure that lowering can help but I think its too low to where the suspension isn't really working as it should. I would like to be in the range of 1/2" to 3/4" low on stock hardware but I have no idea where my starting point is. Can I get some help to check on what stock settings would be. Either with stock tire size fender measurements or the amount of threads showing on the front and back bolts or something....
Thanks everyone.

Good questions raised in that thread about measurement accuracy/where to measure, and what you are really going for in ride height adjustment- LCA angle was brought up as being more relevant. No good answers so it would be useful to continue that discussion if anyone has further insight...
