C5 lowering/alignment question
I have a very low mileage 2000 FRC that I just put Z06 size wheels and tires on. If I lower it on the stock bolts, do I have to realign? Also can you lower all 4 corners with wheels still on car?

i just dropped mine and havent aligned it yet. about 200 miles since. Im keeping a close eye on the front tires. if i start to see a difference, ill align. until then, waste of money. Many have gotten an alignment and turned out they didnt need it

It depends on how much you drive the car. Mines as low as the car can go and it drives fine. If I put 10k-20k miles on it a year, then yea, I would have it aligned. How are you lowering the front with the wheels on the car. I imagine it can be done but it would be much easier to take them off. Getting to that bolt would prolly be a pain in the but without the wheel off.
