How much lower??

Assuming my 2015 base Stingray is in its stock position, how much lower will it get if I adjust the lowering bolts all the way down/up?(whichever direction that lowers the car)

Get a 4 wheel alignment after you lower it.

^ this. It will look great lowered, but keep in mind the clearance reduction when driving on the road.

When a C7 is lowered you will get negative camber and will need an alignment and make sure the shop has the tools for rear caster.

Your probably gonna need these to get that rear tire wear under control while lowered.So worth THE LOOK..
Your driving habits will change or else you'll be replacing ground effects often.
Again:So worth THE LOOK
