Maxx,just lower the front a little more,don't mess with the back. I'm lowered on stock bolts only with Bilstien Sport shocks,you don't need coilovers unless you plan on tracking or some serious street runs.

The shop only painted the fenders. I would say they did a perfect job of matching the paint. I've had it out in the sun and examined it over and over. Couldn't find not even a shade in difference.

This is an awesome shot. I remember when I first jacked up the rear end to slap the new wheels on. I was just taken aback by the look of all that tire tucked underneath that big ole booty! Just an impressive site. Cool pic and enjoy the new hawtness! Report back your thoughts on those tires manners with the power your puttin out please, if you don't mind... I am thinking about a new set of wheels and need to decide on 20's or 19's for the rear... Testimony of tires will dictate for me

Thanks! I'll be sure to report back on the tire information. I really wanted the stickiest option for a "20" tire and after MUCH reading i believe these are it. I'm currently at 585rwhp and 560rwtq. Haven't pushed the tires yet but give me some time and i'll let you know my thoughts.
for quite some time! I have a buddy with a C6Z that I think has the same tires... He raves about them. I'll be on the look out buddy. Congrats on the show stopper

Man that looks really awesome. Love the monster meats you put on. Cant wait to post my build. Getting the car repainted right now. Once I get it back installing the C6 Z brake calipers and rotors and my new wheels and tires. My front bumper mods look pretty wild. C6Z front air scoop, shaved front filler plate and a custom front air feed splitter vent molded from my old bumper fog light openings. Used the factory fog light shrouds to make a air tunnel duct to the radiator. Fully functional. Now to finish my rear diffuser.
