Is it possible to lower the C8, either the base model, Z51, or both?

so far from what I have read the z51 can be adjusted up to 1.5" .. Base doesn't look like it.

Can the Z51 be adjusted if it has MSRC?

Yes, the MRC coilover will allow lowering.

Ok, with all the differing info.. Just say YES for the Z51 without front left. Rear for sure with front lit, and maybe the front with the lift. And I have no idea about the base car.
