Optimal amount to lower a C7
Hello,
I'm sure this is all over the forum, however I'm not finding it. Can someone please share the optimal amount to lower the C7 to maintain the handling characteristics. I'm looking to improve the look by filling in the fender gap and increase the handling by lowering the center of gravity, I just don't want to compromise the ability of the suspension to do it's job. I know there is a recommended amount for the C5 and I wondering is there is a magical amount for the C7. Any knowledgeable opinion are appreciated.
Thank you

So far the aftermarket recommendation for handling is to leave it at stock height. See DSC Sport alignment recommendations:

I was quite impressed taking it to the canyons.
