Remove the bolt. I ended up cutting the bushing and getting an extra 1/4" and then removing the bolt all together to get the extra 3/8" I was looking for. This was to match the back on mine which is what you are looking for too.

Mauricio, what wheels are those? Are they 18/19? I've never seen C5 Z06 wheels in 18/19. They look great!

I am 50/50 for the "Zip" product.
When you get the bolts for the front they do not have a rubber bushing like the stock ones. They come with a really thin plastic "cover" (for loss of words) that snaps on the head of the bolt. It is to prevent the head of the bolt from wearing on the lower A arm.
Cutting the "stock" bushing with a hack saw would allow you to lower the car almost 1/2 inch with the same results.
The rear is simply a longer bolt. My father sold these grade 8 bolts in his hardware store for around $3.00 a piece. The local hardware store still does. Take the old bolt to the local hardware store and ask for 2 new ones an inch longer. "BAM" you saved $50.00 and didn't have to wait for shipping, or pay for it.
Make sure you buy grade 8 bolts, they are stronger.
