Lowering advice please

I'm wanting to lower my car. I like the stance of a C5 that sits level front and back. My front tires didn't last as long as I was hoping so instead of waiting another year and being able to buy new 18" wheels all the way around I've had to get 17" front tires to go with my stock wheels. It will be another two years before I need to get new tires (if I'm lucky) and then I'll get new wheels...

...but to get my **** end to sit level with the front, should I leave the front at its stock height and lower the rear all the way?

that is the best way. If you want to lower it in the front you will have to install longer bolts to get an even stance. I did and am very happy with the rake.

Did you level out your stance? And if so did you lower the front?

I cut my front bushings and lowered the rear all the way on stock bolts without cutting the bushings. It seems to sit pretty level.

17" wheels in the front and back, cut bushings in the rear and lowered stock bolts in the front.
