Just picked mine up from John and the crew at WCC. I only lowered it 1.25" to get rid of the gap on some WCC lowering bolts. The CCW 505a's are being built and the ZO6 fenders are being sprayed. In 3 weeks the brakes, fenders and wheels should be done.

I got mine lowered at WCC in Sept. They did an excellent job. It was approximatelt $280 but it was done correct. It is different from a C5 and therefore cost more because it is more detail. The ride is still good. I've sent others there also and they were pleased.

Whats different? I did my C6 the exact same way I did my C5.If you want it real low you do have to cut the bushings and this takes more time, more work...

I adjusted to the lowest setting on the stock bolts. Probably will change-out bolts soon (already purchased them from WCC). It looks fairly easy. Just wandering if it is better to remove the shock bolt to lower arms?
