That looks awesome!!
Is that stock size wheels? And is that on stock bolts?
How did you get it so low? Cut bushings??
Mine went down a little with max stock bolts - but nowhere as low as yours!!

That's how I want mine to look, but I have stock rims/tyres but I have the rear bolts and I'm removing the front bolts. Hope it drops as far as yours!!

If you have seen ALLKAR's C5s, you will have a new appreciation of l-o-w. He is using coilovers to get that low though.
But for stock suspension - this is courtesy of ALLKAR:
" You have a couple of choices. If you don't want to reuse the bolts, you can lift the spring off the A-arm and use a hacksaw blade to cut the bushing off the bolt then unthread the bolt out of the spring. To remove the bolts you'll have to remove the calipers, lower shock mounts, sway bar mount, and spindle from A-arm or upper A-arm mount. Then remove adjusting bolt. I did the latter. I used a couple of layers of Dyna Mat between the A-arm & spring. Any kind of heavy rubber will work. I had no noise, and the ride was fine. (It will be stiffer). I would also suggest you get a set of Bilstein shocks. They are 1" shorter and will give you a little more travel, and help the ride quality. Get 1/2" x 6.5 or 7" Grade 8 bolts & nylon lock nuts for the rear.

Looks good man!!
How in the world do you guys with cars that low drive around?
I've got mine down to about 3 fingers over the tire and I rub the front EVERYWHERE. Just getting out of my driveway makes me cringe (just the rubber chin spoiler but still).
I don't imagine you could even clear a speedbump without high centering.

Just some concerns I have since mine is a daily driver.
