From everything I've read, an inch is doable on stock bolts
Main concern would be having new bolts on your way or a backup plan (if your c5 is your daily) as the bolts can and will break if youre not careful.

Thanks guys. 1 inch looks really good to me. Helps close the wheel gap. Does 1 inch move the control arms from horizontal any issue with stock length shocks bottoming out.
thanks again both cars look great

I agree with BuzC5, i destroyed my front stock bolts trying to free them up. I ended up removing the spring to work on it on the bench. I used stock replacement bolts, not the aftermarket lowering bolts. Yes, you should get a 4 wheel alignment done when you lower the car.
