Default Lowering bolts

I want to use C6 lowering bolts to lower my '99 FRC.

I'm looking for either a part number or a "keyword" to use, as I cannot seem to find any sticky's on this issue.

Also has anyone used the Eibach lowering bolt kit? Are they the same length of OEM on a C5 or longer?

Thanks for any information.......

you can just go to any quality hardware store and buy a couple longer grade 8 bolts for the rear and on the front, you screw those in shorter.

Here's a good thread to read on that helped me when I lowered my C5 Z06. I also purchased my lowering kit from Eastcoastcorvettes.
