Not that I want to pass up the opportunity to drop $1500 for a jack, but it won't work ... that's why they have gaps in the bodywork:

Unless there's a specific model you're referring to that I'm not aware of.

Dude that looks freakin awesome!

Im having mine lowered on the stock bolts for now...Not sure I can go much lower in NYC!

Do you have a Before (lowered on stock bolts) and After (Lowered on WCC Bolts)? Would be interesting to see the difference...

Amazon.com. From the stock bolts, I went from 3.5 fingers to 2 fingers In the rear. Same height in the front. The Z07's don't settle in the rear. I wanted the same all around.

I love the lowered look

but you'll have serious issues if you take it to the track. Make sure to go back to factory height before you track it.

I'm curious as to why this is?

I understand if it's lowered within a half inch of the tire, but why would one inch lower than stock all around compromise the vehicle on the track?
