With the stock lowering bolts, thats about all you are gonna get. If you purchase an aftermarket lowering kit (ebay or forum dealer) you can literally slam your vette. I would not suggest going any lower than what you have now if you don't want to scrape on speedbumps and driveways. You can always go lower, but remember, it comes with a price. Good luck!

Call LG's for a lowering kit to go lower. Thats what I did , but I'm VERY careful where I drive, and never go over speed bumps... I love the look but it comes with downsides for sure.

After it is lowered and you drive awhile it will settle down a little more. You can cut the adjuster bushings in the front to drop it slightly more. For driving practicality, you will find you're about as low as you should go if you want to drive your car regularly. You can get it lower, but it will become a real pain. Also, for proper handling and aerodynamics at speed, the front should be lower than the rear.
