Default Lowered My Z06

I Lowered My 04 Z06 But I Took Off The Screw And Bushing Completely In The Front And In The Back I Removed The Bushing. I Needed To Know If I Left It Like That If It Would Give Me Any Problems Now Or In The Future. The Car Rides Perfect And Makes No Noises. Please Let Me Know If U Have The Same Thing. Thank You

Do a search. There have been many threads where the front bolts were taken out. Should not be a problem. I cut mine.

I don't know about the rear bolts without a bushing. That bushing keeps the bolt centered in the opening.

I removed the bushing in the front but not the back. Seemed fine for about 6 months then I started to hear a squeek coming from that area. I bought new bolt and this time I decided to cut the bushings leaving only about 1/4. Now no noise or issues. The rears still have bushing but lowered on longer bolts. Never had an a noise issue with the rears.
