I believe you can use C6 front bolts that will lower it more than C5 bolts.

Can't speak for using different bolts and cutting bushings, but just lowering it all the way on stock bolts presents a number of challenges getting in and out of driveways, streets and speed bumps. I wouldn't want to go any any further than that. I think it would be a major pain in the *** most of the time.

It is. Mine is lowered with two bushings cut in the back, and the front bolts are gone. I'm putting the front bolts back on, and they are going on their lowest setting, and two bushings back in the rear.
