I agree, they come too high. If you have a Stage 1 or 2, then crank the lowering bolts all the way down. You will need aftermarket lowering for the rear on a Z07. This is mine with WCC's all around.

Looks good, but how do you drive that around without scraping anything??

Not an issue. Just be careful. My C6Z was lower.

Good choice. I'm a bit on the "chubby" side and comp seats are actually comfortable.

FWIW, had the Z at the dealership today (installing suede steering wheel), and the Corvette mechanic (who lowered my car for me) told me GM has put out the word a) not to lower cars anymore and b) it would affect the warranty.
To clarify, the first time they lowered it, they could not get the rear leaf spring evenly matched on left and right side. They ended up replacing the leaf spring under warranty and lowered and realigned it with no problem (defective spring? Unknown, as they returned it and never heard back from GM).

Can't confirm or deny, just reporting, but maybe worth checking into.
