Stock height for me, but with the 18, and 19s it has a lower look to it. I like having a little ground clearance - lots of crazy driveways for both homes and businesses here in MA.

I lowered pretty much within the spec that's actually suggested on the Z06 DVD! Anything beyond that I'm going to go to coilovers

Diito! It has been over 1 year and my Z06 still sits a bit too high for my tastes...coilovers are definitely in the future plans.

lowered all the way down on stock bolts. I am planning to lower the rear another inch and take out the front bolt completely.

That system is incredible - Mallet used to sell it (or something just like it) - used a couple of carbon cannisters, I think there was even some small mod to the frame to accommodate the install.
Always wanted to hear what it sounds like
