Suspension question.
I recently lowered my car using longer bolt's in the rear and cutting bushings in the front. The car look's awesome now, it's a must do mod for all 'vettes in my opinion... Anyways, driving on some of these rough paved farm road's in Germany it seem's to bounce up and down and jiggle alot more since lowering. Is this normal? It seems to be quite a significant change in ride quality. The car only has 27k miles on it so i'm not thinking the shocks could be bad yet.

Do a search and you will find plenty of reading material on this subject..
Once you lower the car to this extreme, you are now riding on the bump stops in the shocks..
You could try to cut the stops down a bit, or buy shorter shocks, or raise the car back up until it doesn't bother you, or live with it.

Get some Bilsteins they are shorter. Lowering to a point is good slamming is not good for handling as said above.
