Lowered my Stingray
Hey guys I lowered my car with the stock bolts, but its still to high for me. Do you know if the aftermarket bolts really lower 2 inches and which are the best to buy?
Thanks in advance.

Go find yourself some good speed bumps and drive over them several times. Then give it another 100 miles or so to completely settle in. The speed bumps really helped after lowering my car all the way on the stock bolts but it still settled ever further over the next month or two. You'd be surprised how much it will settle with some time.

You didn't say how much you lowered the car by adjusting the bolts.
In response to your question; I have seen some aftermarket bolts and can't see how they can possibly lower the car 2".
Anybody have any experience with these?

I lowered the bolts till they bottomed out, I agree After market bolts just don't have as much rubber on the bottom of the bolt so that would lower it a bit more but not 2 inches. I asked corvette central and they said the ones they have will lower it 2 inches. I'm just going to see what happens as I drive it.

Lowering and Wheel Alignment
I am going to drop mine as much as the stock bolts will allow. I guess this necessitates a wheel alignment on all 4 corners. Anyone know where I can get the stock alignment specs?
