I dropped my vert as far as it will go on stock bolts(even cut the front rubbers) and have had the C6 Z06 shocks on for about a year now with no problems what so ever.

Get some Bilstein sports or 04 Z shocks, C6 shocks are for C6 cars. Your ride will be fine, you need a stiffer shock to balance the loss of travel and the Bilsteins give you a little more length.
