Default Lowering C5s

I know that this topic has been beaten to death, however i am trying to find out the best way to do something like this. I was also woundering if there is anthing different you would have to do if you have magnetic selective ride control which my car does. Thanks for any info.

Depends what route you want to take and the $$$ you want to spend. You can bring it down with the stock bolts and they may serve your purpose just fine, I went with a coilover setup because I wanted more adjustability. People go both routes theres nothing really "wrong" about either. If you want to make your car handle better without spending large amounts of coin drop it on the stock bolts get a set of Z06 sways and shocks and youll have whole new car. If you want to go more all out you can take a similar route that I went, I got a set of Pfadt coilovers, Hotchkis sways and a full VBP bushing kit. Its all up to you....

But on a side note, im not sure where Holland PA is but I live in Chester county and the roads are very unkind to very lowered cars so dont plan to slam it without damaging some part of you underbody
