Default Lowering
I see all this talk about lowering the C7. How is this done? Is this something the Dealer needs to do and then do a re-alignment afterwards? I have found the topics but no explantion of how it is done?

Mine is just a DD but I would like to have it an inch or so lower.

There is a sticky on this... jack the car, turn 4 bolts, drop the car, done. You can do it in 30 to 40 min depending on how fast you can jack the car.

Edit... I'll make it easy on you http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c7-g...nd-photos.html
