Default More Lowering Help

Ok I have a 2000 Hardtop, Im the same person that always ask these questions. I finally did the front. Its got about 13 threads showing, and the back has 2 threads showing. Its about a half inch lower then our stock 99 Hardtop, but before I lowered it there was a HUGE difference. The 99 was lower. What am I doing wrong? Did my Vette come with Monster Truck Suspension stock. I want it about 2" or 1/2" from the fender on the front and back.

Also The frame sliders and savers are a good thing to have correct?

Every car is simply different, and there is no answer. If you lower everything as far as it will go, and it is still not enough, you have to cut the fronts and get longer bolts in the rear.

Did you cut the bushings in the front on yours and do you have longer bolts in the back?
