Help with Front Lowering Bolts
I have a set of new C6 and C5 front lowering bolts stock form with bushings untouched to play with.
Was wondering if I install the C6 bolts as they are and lower all the way what will happen compared to the c5 bolts lowered all the way?
What about cutting bushings on both?
thanks

someone tell me more about the c6 bolts.
I dont want to go that much lower than what the front stock bolts will do
I dont want to cut any bushings, can I just use the c6 bolts and lower all the way on those for a bit lower than the c5 bolts will do?

The front bolts will make no difference becasue you screw them down to lower, or you can cut the bushing or remove all together.
In order to lower the rear more, you need longer bolts becasue you raise the bolts to lower the car

The C6 bolts will lower your car about 3/8" more in the front then the stock C5 bolts. Most poeple just cut some of the bushing on the C5 bolt for the same effect.
If it's too low for you just go back and adjust the bolts again.

Hello everyone...
I just need some help here.. These things sit so low to the ground now that that we typically have to be cautious of road bumps and uneven road now.. I understand that the lower you go, the wind resistance, MPG, and other things factor in to benefit overall.. But.. As I said, these things sit so low now that I have question why do this... ??? For show only or...??
