Default Lowering question???

How much can you lower the stock suspension using the stock bolts on your Vette? Before and after pictures would be great as well.

I don't have pics but I lowered mine on stock bolts and it is as low as I would ever want it to be and it looks really cool . The car rides perfectly also . Don't waste your money on the aftermarket bolts .

Anyone? Would love to see it on Grand Sports...I don't want the fender looking like its right on the tire but perhaps just over a 1/2" gap would look the best?
