Default Lowering Bolt drop?

Did a search, but nothing conclusive......

Most look pretty high....turning the bolts all the way down do the job &
approx how much drop?

Some say alignment, some say don't need it....what's the consensus?

THX!

No one knows because no one really has the car in their possession yet to do this....

I doubt it will be the same drop as the stingrays. I know on C6 Z06s, they didn't drop nearly as much as the base cars. But also...every car is different in response to lowering on stock bolts.

When it comes to lowering you know what you're talking about. Maybe I'll wait for others to do it first...

Does the ride quality change when using aftermarket bolts?
