I know i posted months ago but just got around to putting the front tires on and waiting on the rear oe replica c7 z0618x10.5 wheels to show up then swap the bridgestone potenza 295/35/18s and sell the c5 z06 bolted wheels. Then onto window tint, 284 spoiler king wing and possibly carbon fiber front fender accent stripes either with or without the c5 logo. I got the front 18x8.5" oe replica c7 z06 black stain wheels from jegs and ordered the rear set 18x10.5 directly from oe wheels for 477$.
The front studs are about 3/8" of thread left out of the springs so it cant be RAISED OR LOWERED? much higher or is that lowered? The idea is the tighter the bolts or front lowering studs the higher the car sits up front? For the rear the looser or less threads lowers the car allowing the control arms to hang and wheels tuck up into fender correct? I have about 1.25" of thread left on the rear bolts. Does this mean i could possibly lower it 3/4-1"? Ebay has the 30$ rear lowering kit with new polyurethane bushings. Are these bolts strong enough and are they longer then stock?
Im thinking of purchasing these as i want to replace the rear lowering leaf spring bushings as well with new polyurethane. Does anyone have any idea how long these are compared to the stock rear bolts or have experience with them? C5 REAR BOLT BUSHINGS LOWERING KIT FOR 97-04 CHEVROLET CORVETTE VETTE C5 CHEVY | eBay
It looks like it could be lowered 2"-3" atleast in the rear to have the same height as the front but i dont think theres lowering kits except the eibach 150$ kit.
I may just try to lower it with the stock rear bolts down to maybe 3/8"-1/2" of thread id hate to have the leaf spring bolts or a nut fall off.
