Quick lowering bolt question
I think I have decided to buy some C6 bolts for the front of my C5z as the cut bushings didn't quite give me the drop I wanted. I just wanted to confirm that the C6 bolts will lower the car more than the cut stock bolts and I was wondering where I can get the bolts. Thanks for the help.

i ahve spoke with Gene @ GmParthouse. You can not factory order c6 bolts direct without order the composite leaf springs with the bolts. No kidding. WCC is the only place for bolts only kit.
ps. you need to order FOUR (4) of them form WCC, you only need 2. Wanna split a packet of 4? Im getting ready to do this as well. PM me if interested.
otherwise, i think im going with this WCC C5 front kit:

The "kit" from LG consists of a set of C6 bolts (apparently from WCC since they are packaged in WCC wrap), and a set of longer "generic" bolts for the rear. I was told by another forum member that this is the setup he went with and it put his C5 right where I want mine to sit. You could more than likely obtain the same items from any number of vendors. This is just the direction I took.

Several vendors sell the C-5 front lowering bolts Zip products, WCC and a few others. The C-5 front lowering bolts goes in with no trouble I never tried a C-6 front lowering bolt but I bet it is no different.
This is my car with WCC C-5 lowering kit.
