Got some more pics today. I lowered on stock bolts but I don't think it's fully settled yet.
Had the day off, so I also took the opportunity to change oil/filter and claybar/polish/wax the car. I just got the car and the paint could still use some work, but I'm happy with it for now.

But seriously, they were on the car for about a week when I went to the track. Tailgating on the street is an imbecilic action indeed.

...my point is the person with that kind of implied attitude (and most highly likely driving habits that go along with it) that feels it necessary to have such a sticker would be the issue. Not the dozens of people being tailgated every week.We seem to agree on the same point, running such a sicker on one's car on the street is an imbecilic action indeed.
I certainly can see the need for it at the track.

Unfortunately, Yes...the C6 bolts up front are adjusted all the way down (and backed off just 1/4 turn to reduce the chances of them seizing). For some reason, my car does not want to lower itself as much as the other cars I've seen on the forums. I had a feeling my car might not lower as much as others when I first adjusted the front stock bolts all the way down... On maxed out factory front bolts, my car still looked the same height as other Z's that were not lowered at all. The C6 bolts lowered the front significantly, but it still isn't as low as I expected.
Maybe mine had a higher stance (up front) from the factory?...Or maybe it has something to do with the low mileage (21k) on the car and the fact that I don't do much aggressive cornering/driving. I don't know if the factory leaves settle over time/mileage and aggressive cornering/driving?
All I know as that I can't get it as low as others with aftermarket front bolts...kind of a bummer...
