Default Post your lowered C5 for reference
I am going to lower my C5 Z06 and am not certain how much to drop it. Would appreciate if some of you can post pictures of your drop, and details of the amount your C5s were dropped on the stock bolts. It is a daily driver so I am concerned about going too low, but I do want a better stand + handling. Thanks!

Lowered on stock bolts almost all the way, I think I might have 1 turn left.

I have ground clearance behind the front tire of 4 inchs. That's
the lowest point.

Lowered just about to the max on stock bolts. Front came down a little more than the rear which seems pretty common
