Please Post Your LOWERED Ride Height
Measure from ground to fender lip and state wether stock bolts or bushings cut. Indicate wheel size. Also type of shocks and any bottoming problems. Also indicate any scraping problems.
I'm trying to figure out the ideal height to shoot for when I lower mine ..... SOON!!
Currently: 18 inch front and rear.
RF: 27 1/2
LF: 27 3/8
RR: 28 1/4
LR: 28 1/4

Stock bolts, no cut bushings, stock C5 wheels :
Rear : 27.75" (down 1" from stock)
Front : 26.75" (down .5" from stock)
Slightly more scraping than stock but nothing drastic. Ride no harsher than stock.

Rember if you lower your car too much the supenssion does not work properly.
Dont have mesurements. but lowered approximetly 1 1/2 in front and 1 in rear. Photo is with 18" wheels and 335/30 rear and 285/30 front tires.
Car had Z51 supenssion and was photographed cornering at 70 MPH. supenssion was fully loaded right side, so it looks lower then it really is.
