Default Lowering Question

I have a 2000 coupe that came with the F45 suspension. The previous owner installed C5 Z06 shocks, sways, endlinks. Are there any concerns with lowering the car on this particular setup?

Thanks.

Installing those parts will not effect lowering in any way

You may want to consider upgrading the shocks to Bilstein Sports. They will handle the shorter travel better by not bottoming out, as well as a little bit stiffer valving.

is there any advantage in going with the Bilstein Sports over a set of C6Z06 shocks?
