Default Lowering

Looking for advice for lowering my non Z51. What are my options? I was thinking I would just by four (4) adjustable Z51 shocks and get 3/4 inch lower with the max adjustability this in kit: 2020 C8 Corvette Complete Z51 Adjustable Shock Set New GM | eBay.

Any other options out there? i have seen a kit that lowers one (1) inch for $7500 plus install. Too much

Thanks!

from what I understand the paragon springs will work on a non z51 car but will change the rates. Eibach is releasing springs for the c8 soon, some people have been testing them on the street for a while now. Personally I’d Change to the z51 shocks for adjustability. I’m waiting to get my new wheels/tires mounted to see if I want to lower mine.

It depends if you have Magnetic Selective Ride Control. That is available on 2021s without Z51 and can be lowered.

If you have no. Mag ride no. Z51 no lift
getting Z51 shocks is currently only option
eibach springs when released could be an option but they haven’t confirmed
