Lowered car what shocks
Now that I've lowered the car on stock bolts it seems to bottom out slightly on what I'm assuming to be the shocks. Anyone know what shock to go to that is shorter for lowered c5?

Bilstein B8 (Sport) is a popular and affordable choice for lowered C5s. The shock bodies are shorter and are designed for cars lowered 1-2". I am lowered approximately 2" and have been running the B8s for a while now. I've never bottomed them out and they handle excellent at my ride height. If you're lowered excessively (2.5"+), there really isn't any shock options that will do well at that height. Your best choice would be coilovers in that circumstance which will get expensive, quick.
