On my previous Z51 Stingray, I lowered it all the way almost a full inch at all four corners... looks great but can get dicey on speedbumps, inclines, driveways, dips, etc...
So for my Z06, I lowered it a 1/4" so far plus I now have to consider it has a front splitter. A subtle improvement in body height drop but no issues on my driveway or street bumps...
C7 Z06, I presume you lowered the stingray on aftermarket lowering bolts like the WCC ones and the Z06 on the stock bolts?
Thanks
Nope, both my previous Stingray and current Z06 were lowered on stock bolts... the Stingray was maxed (lowered) on stock bolts hence why it sits lower. Here's another perspective... my last pic before swapping it for the Z.

Do you happen to know if the bolts are different on the Z51 to the Z06? All I keep reading is that Z06 rear will only go down half an inch max from stock. I want to go down an inch all around and I bought the WCC lowering bolts, but I'd obviously be a lot easier if I can use the stock ones.
I have lowered all of my C6s over the years, It only takes about 5 to 10 min to do this. Some came from the factory higher than others, So I would get anywhere from about 1/2" to 1" depending on the starting point. I will also lower the max on my new Z when I get it, Also does the new Z have the rubber bushings that can be cut or removed? If so You could cut the bushing in half or even more, or completely remove it to lower even more. Myself I have cut about 3/4 of the bushing on the C6 which lowered the car even more.
I would be all over an air system that raised the front an inch and a half at the push of a button. Are you listening after market vendors?
You & me both. I think Florida has the market cornered on speed bumps.
I have several near me that have planks in the middle. Looks like you're crossing a bridge. Publick road too. I'd like to get some C4 and blow the things to hell.

I'm not sure but you make a good point... the rear bolts on my Z06 are turned out (counter clockwise) considerably and it only lowered mine 1/4"

Want to lower my C6 which has the rear end much higher than the front. So I'm thinking 1/2 " on the front, 3/4" on the rear
My vert has active suspension; will that matter
Do you have any instructions?
I did a search but only could find a c7 post on lowering on stock bolts.
I added z51 sway bars but that didn't seemed to help much in spirited cornering; have good tires.
