Just got the shocks!
UPS just showed up with my shocks (C6 Z06)! Sways and endlinks (C6 Z06 as well) left San Antonio this morning and will be here tomorrow. BTW, all parts were purchased from Forum members, great transactions.
Install is set for Wednesday/Thursday evening, and I'm going to lower on stock bolts at that time as well. I'm pschyed!!!!!

Should be interesting to see how your Z06 shocks lower it compared to the bilsteins I have on.

A good point you bring up. Should I drive it afterwards for a day to settle then get the alignment or do so immediatley afterwards?

I did mine immediately. Settling won't effect the alignment

I'd drive it long enough it settles. The height of the car will affect the camber.
