lowered
I have a 2001 vert with the f-45. I lowered mine on the stock bolts without cutting the bushings. Ended up lowering the front about 3/4" and the rear 1". It will ride a little rougher 
You will have to be carefull navigating the dips etc but anyone who ownes a vette already knows that.!!!

try it youll like it
I know what you mean by changing the rake but I really think its a non issue. Not enough to see any difference. The reason its different in the front is that I just lowered it as much as I could without cutting any bushings. It can go lower if you cut the bushings or buy aftermarket bolts for the rear. I had the car aligned a month before when I bought new tires then had it aligned after I lowered it. Really not much was affected looking at the before and after readings. Just be carefull of the road dips etc. Owning a corvette I'm sure you already know this

You may also want to look into getting fattdaddys or fattmamas incase you have a steep driveway just to save the front of your vette... They have helped me alot. Good luck
