Default Lowering the vette

Just wondering what you guys thought of lowering the vette. I see that there are "lowering bolts" at corvettegarage.com. how do those work out? What other methods are there?

Default lowering options

If you dont have the f45 suspension you can lower the rear about 1 inch and the front a bit less than 1 using the stock bolts. The more expensive way would be to buy coilovers that are adjustable 2 inches up or down.

I think the C5 looks alot better lowered. I have mine lowered all the way on stock bolts with the front bushings cut 2/3 of the way off.
