Default Lowering Question.....

A friend of mine told me that it's possible to lower C5's 1" from the factory just by tightening some bolts? Has anyone done this or know anything about it? What kind of lowering kits do you all have on your cars?

Looks like I'm following ET tonight. Anyway, almost EVERYONE here has lowered their car, don't want the 4x4 look!!!

Do a search for lowering and you will find LOTS of stuff. I have cut front bushings and longer rear bolts....

Good luck!!

Lowering your vette on stock bolts is most common...
