Lowering Questions
Just got my C5. Had a C4 for 4 years.
I have a question on lowering the C5. First.. How? I have read a few things about lowering. I want to keep a good rake and don't want to mess up the tires.
Also Do you need to do a camber adjustment after loweing?
Thanks!!
Love this site!

I am not sure about the F55 suspension. I recall see somewhere here on the forum that the lowering of that suspension can cause the computer to throw codes. Let me do some looking and see what I come up with. I will send you a PM when I find it.

I have a 2003 with the Magnetic Selective Shocks and I had my car lowered on stock bolts. DynoTech Engineering did it for me while they were doing a variety of upgrades on my car last spring. It's no different that any other C5. They also took care of realigning the car to Z06 specs while they were at it.
Here's a pic of the car after lowering:
