I think you will see that the majority of people who lowered their Z06's a little, have nothing but smiles on their faces. I lowered mine a lot and here is what I think. :cool: :D :D If you are intersted in lowwering yours, check out this powerpoint presentation that might help you.

I had Danny Popp lowered my car and while he was at it, he corner-weighed and adjusted the alignment for autox. Pics at http://home.insight.rr.com/wahjudimain/inmotion.html

I lowered just the front. I like the raked look. Didn't notice any handling improvements or ride degredation. Just did it for looks.

Re: Anybody lower their Z06? (Goody)
Just get used to the idea of scrapping everything out there. I hate San Diego streets.....dips every 100 yards it seems.
If you are going to lower the Z you will need to cut the front bushings to get anything noticable. I have lowered both FE4's and Z51s without cutting and it makes very little difference just turning the stock bolts in the front. I cut off about 1/3 of the bushing to get mine where I wanted it...about 1". I also used longer bolts in the back. Make sure you get an alignment after a few hundred miles.
