My 2 cents.....

My C5 as all other C5's sit low enough as it is. I personally wouldn't bother lowering mine.

I like the it sits and rides.

I lowerd mine on stock bolts several weeks ago (and kept stock sways and shocks). There may be a minor change in ride quality/stiffness, but not much it at all IMO.

I drove the other day on a rather bumpy section of interstate and hit some rather hard dips/bumps at 70mph. It handled them fine - no scrapping our bottoming out of the shocks.

I am very happy with the current setup - looks and ride quality, and I highly recommend the mod

It didn't effect the ride quality in my 04 coupe. Yes you do need to get it aligned after it settles a bit.
