Lowering a c5!!! Low as possible..
How can I go about getting my Vette as low as possible. MY friend said that I could buy different bolts for the rear that are longer but what do I do about the fronts.. thanks

tehy the search function on the forum you will find all you need to know. I cut the front bushings and have longer bolst in the read from PFYC.com. You will need new shocks if you do this, i have the Bilstiens. Its not hard to do, but afterwards you will need an alignment. My front underspoiler is an inch and a half off the road. Hope this helps

If you really want to get it as low as possible you will have to get coilover shocks. Be prepared to drop a couple grand for this.
Aside from that you can get longer bolts for the rear and then completely remove the front bolts. Put some Bilstein sport shocks on for under $300 and you'll be good to go.
The latter is the route I took and am satisfied for the time being but will eventually go with coilovers.
