Default Lowering Z06?

I have already lowered my Z06 on the stock bolts but its just not quite low enough for my liking. To get it to drop another 1"-1 1/2" what must I do? Also, I don't want to scratch or damage the underside of the car. Any suggestions on some sort of braces/bars to buy that can help protect it?

Thanks
Michael

I would assume you would have to cut the bushings and install longer bolts on the rear. I lowered my Z on stock bolts and I personally wouldn't go any lower, but it's all personal taste. Do a search for the way to lower past stock bolts.

A&A makes frame savers for the front, and rocker rails for each side. Just take out your front adjusting bolts and get longer bolts for the rear. Adjust the rears until you have .5"ish rake front/rear
