Default Lowering my 2016 C7 Corvette

If I lower my C-7 will it change how it rides?

Ah yeah, you're taking away travel of the suspension so it will firm it up and also possibly bottom out easier causing a harsher feeling.

When I had my C5, I lowered it on stock bolts, and it definitely firmed it up a good bit, not to the point of being harsh, but it was definitely firmer, and did seem to corner a bit better. It also made dangerous some speed bumps that were previously benign. I had to learn to hit almost everything at an angle, and cringe a bit when I heard scrape noises. If you do lower your car, don't forget to have it re-aligned again, it changes the camber of the wheels when you lower a car. Just an FYI.

I notice little to no change personally. When I turn the dial to Touring - it still rides like a caddy...when I am on sport or track mode - it still rides firm. All AutoX events and drag strip events feel the same to me.
