I just orderd mine though Zip today for the same price. I wont buy from Corvette Central - 1 they are in the same state as me, so I have to pay tax on it where as if I order it from some where else I don't and 2 - the last time I odered something from them I waited a month and then cancelled it and ordered it from Zip.

You won't get an inch, but expect a .5"/1" drop at first, and it'll settle more, to a .75"/1" You can drop the rear 2" before you run out of threads, but you'd be draggin azz everywhere. The limitation is up front.

I bought my kit from Corvette Central and it works great and completely changed the looks of the car. I doesn't sound like much of a drop but my neighbor noticed I had done it immediately. No change in ride quality.

Got my rear lowered today! Not sure where the kit came from. The vette repair shop had it in stock. Charged me $20 for the kit and $50 to put it on. I wanted the back level to the front. It's got a really nice stance now. Handles just as good as before.
