I am trying to lower my 05 c6 on stock bolt but it does not seem to be getting lower. Any tips

I lowered my 05 coupe as far as I could on stock bolts, I could not tell any difference. I measured before and after, and even drove it a couple of days and re-measured, no difference.

I think it's the stock bolts that need replacing. Look into "lowering bolts", that might lead you to what you're looking for.

You may have to cut the bushings to get it as low as you would like. The other option is to replace them with bolts designed to allow this adjustment. WWC sells lowering bolts that will allow you to adjust the height down.

Depending on where your car started will determine how much drop there is. Also, After you jack and adjust, it might take several days of driving to settle the suspension. Mine took almost 3 days to get to its final ride height. All in all mine dropped just shy of 3/4". If you want to slam it, stock bolt even with some of the pad cut is not the answer. You will need aftermarket bolts or coilovers.

Hardbar bolts get my vote. They're on my car now.

I have an 05 that I lowered on the stock bolts. All the way down in the back and a few turns in the front. I didn't cut anything. Drive it around and let it sit a day or so and measure again. Good luck. Here's picture:

Another vote for hardbar bolts... had for about 8 months now, still on car. Didnt install on the front though, after cranking down stock front bolts the plastic piece was and inch and a quarter off the ground.. figured that would be good enough...measured before and after and go about an inch lower in the front, about 2 in the back..

lowering bolts are only like $40.... its easy. the hard part is getting the ball joint to break loose.

I lowered mine on stock bolts without cutting bushings.

Usually takes a few days of driving for it to "settle down".

Hey everyone,
If you are looking to lower your vette, we actually have products that will help and will not cost a bunch.
Eibach Pro Kit Lowering Drop Coil Springs
Front 0.0" - 2.0"/ Rear 0.0" - 2.0"
This is the best way to lower your vette and have it done the right way.

So then looking at your site, they are bolts(modified hardware) and not actually springs? The same thing we are already talking about. It is a little misleading seeing coil springs and not the actual hardware. Especially considering Corvettes use a transverse leaf spring and not coil or am I missing something from your website.

Yes, the Eibach are actual bolts but Eibach has them in there lowering springs Pro-Kit. But when you order you do get bolts.

Ok they are actual bolts


But for some reason Eibach has decided to keep them in thre pro kit lowering springs line up.

When you buy the Eibach Pro kit for the Corvette C6 you will recieve lowering bolts.

Hopefully this cleared everything up. If not let me know
