The Penske coilovers suggest lowering of 1.5" but hopefully they can lower just 1":

Also, according to what the website says, the coilover option shouldn't be available with the single-adjustable shocks.
I think I would just get the Hyperco "track" or "T1" leaf springs and lower with the lowering bolts about 3/4". However, the Hyperco leaf springs for the C7 are not yet available.
Or with a base C7, put the Z51 springs on and lower the 3/4" that the lowering bolts allow

Lowered all my c5s and my c6. My buddy who bought my c6 raised her immediately so he was better able to drive around his town.
Not planning to lower my c7. I'm rather enjoying driving around without scraping.

Not my car, but from another thread in the tech/perf section. They're using the WCC lowering bolts: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c7-t...take-over.html
