Default How to lower the C5

My car is coming out of winter storage in a couple of weeks and heading straight to the shop for inspection and the installation of my new GHL cat-back exhaust. When I was on the phone with my friend, the mechanic, I asked him if he could lower my car using the stock bolts. He paused and said he didn't know how to do that on the C5. My question for you fellow C5'ers is what exactly do I need to tell him how to lower my car?

Your input is much appreciated

Huck

Your Vette will never be worth more than any other cared for Vette. Do you know how many C5 were built? Tens of thousands hardly driven waiting for Barret Jackson pricing. Never gonna happen. Besides 40 years from now there will be no gas to power em up. Use you car now and enjoy. And by the way, my modded car is 10 times more fun to drive than when it was stock. And who did you buy your car for?
