This is the kit I used http://www.zip-products.com/Zip/prod...71391FF394D459 The car is slammed. I heard of people just buying the bolts from Home Depot and getting the bolts for a bit cheaper but I didn't feel like messing with all that.

I put this together a few weeks ago... Pics of stock height, then lowered max on stock bolts, then lowerd max with the front C6 bolts, and longer rear bolts.
Below pic....Lowered max in the front with C6 bolts, and adjusted the rear longer bolts to where it looked right in line with the front height.

I removed the front bolts and installed 8" x 9/16" Grade #8 bolts. The stock rear bolts are around a 1/2" dia and 6" in length. The rear bolts are quite a bit stronger. You can see my avatar and see how much it is lowered. It's stance is the same as the silver Z06 in the earlier replies.
