How is your car going to being lowered? Here's mine.

Stock height:



Lowered all the way on stock bolts (about 3/4"-1" drop):



How do you like your wheels? Are they Cray Scorpions? I'm looking into maybe the Cray Mantas. How's the quality, fit, finish, ride, etc?

Lowered with C6 front bolts (max lowered). Longer bolts in the rear set to match the height of the front.

I will lower it on bolts. and as far as the wheels go! i love'em. the finish is of hight quality and the ride is very smooth.....much better of that with the stock wheels. from what've learned here in the forum is that non-run flats are the reason to a smoother ride. and pirelis P-zeros are extremely soft. Mantas are nice, but everyone seems to have the same wheel style/desing on their vettes. you will have no problem with the fit as they are made for corvettes and the stock wheel sensors work on these wheels as well.
