Lowering pro's and con's
Okay guys lets have your opinions on lowering.....
I ask this as I have a 2000 FRC with C6 Z06 style wheels on it. The rears are 19x11's and the tire is pretty much even with the fender lip. If I lower the car, will I have issues with the tire hitting the fender ?

I have a 1999 FRC with ace slick z07's - 11" rear as well. I used a lowering kit for front and rear only because my front bolts were seized and needed to be replaced. I did not slam the car, but left around 1.5- 2" inch clearance front and back. Love the look/stance, and have no issues other than the need to pay close attention to inclines, and dips... but if you drive a vette you are going to do this anyway. Do a search on me, and there should be a picture of my car out there - should look the same as yours but in a faster color - pewter
I am also running 305 in rear with no issues.

And I was thinking about doing the same thing you did, leaving about 2" of clearance. I think that's going to be the stance I'm looking for.Only difference is my rear tires are 325 30 19's.

you will need to find an in ground alignment rack to straighten you up once you lower it. I found one here near Richmond (only one) and didn't take that into consideration prior to lowering. I used 01 z06 specs for alignment.
