Default Front end suspension

I have a 2002 c5 corvette coupe. I recently installed 20inch rears
19inch fronts. I lowered the rear 2 and a half inches I used a lowering
kit I bought from West Coast Corvettes.
My question is there a front end lowering kit available I would like to drop
the front end about 1and a half inches. I don't like the big gap between
the tire and the fender on the front end.
Can anyone give me some advise. I also don't want to loose any of the cars steering abillity by dropping the front end. If that's the case I'd rather just leave it alone.

Thank You!!!
Dennis

Remove the front bolts. The only other thing you can do is go to coil-overs.

How does removing them affect the suspension? Will it make it easier to bottom out? Or affect the suspension geometry?
