Stock bolts rear and cut bushings front.
Note: with Z06 springs, which I think leaves it justa tad higher.

West coast corvettes sells a C-5 front lowering bolt. It has a very this bushing almost like a hard rubber coating. I think they work great.

Here's my car with YOUR wheels on it. Front all the way down on stock bolts, rear bushings cut halfway. (I wouldn't cut the bushings again, actually put some new one's in recently)
