Your Vette looks Great! Could you explain to me the differance between using the stock bolts as opposed to the C6 bolts?

Ok...?? What am I missing....? They both appear to be the same length, so why the C6? Im getting ready to lower mine and still dont understand the reason for the C6 bolt. Guess Im just dense....

Look at the bushing of the C6 lowering bolt. It is 75% shorter than the standard C5 bolt. It is slightly shorter than a C5 bolt even with the bushing cut. The shorter bushin area is what allows the car to lower more.
