Or I will just wait till I get my Z06 fenders and HRE's then cut the bushings and lower it with zero wheel gap!

Yea, mine was lowered on the stock bolts all the way, and it wasnt low enough, so i just cut the rear, and then the front had to go down, but the front goes way down on the stock bolts, now the gap measurement is exactly the same on all 4 corners. It also felt better on the test drive after i lowered the front. When i just had the rear bushings cut and lowered, it had a rocking motion, but now it doesnt.
Thanks for the comments! Mine is lowered as low as it will go with the stock bolts. But I am about to cut the bushings and lower it some more, I hate wheel gap!

That's the only reason I haven't lowered mine. The places I go with this car would cause it to make out with the ground intimately...
However if I don't trade in for a Z, I may just lower it a little.
To the OP, your Vette looks a lot better. You chose one of the best colors too.

For you who asked about my widebody, I actually bought the car with it already on. Not sure who did the work. (the car was a year old,3LT, with less than 1k miles on it, with the widebody, brakes, wheels and tires, and got it for less than a new one)
