Anyone lower their C8 yet?
I know this modification is not for everyone but I am very interested to see someone who has lowered their Z51 with the adjustable coil-overs as I plan on lowering mine when it arrives.
Please post pics and info. Thanks,

Come on people...I know some of you are lowering using those adjustable spring perches on the Z51 cars. Post up! This thread will determine if I go with front end lift or not. Best option would be to get the front end lift and have the aftermarket get some proper lowering springs out ASAP.

We haven't messed with it because ours has been on the lift for the axle replacement and we left the fenders off so the guys can finish fabricating/test fitting our header system without having to worry about scratching paint. We'll probably lower it Friday when we put it back together.

In the 334 page manual there is NOTHING about adjusting the suspension on Z51 cars.
I don't have my jack pucks yet so I'm not jacking the car to take a look just yet but I will as soon as they arrive (from China. I am dunking them in bleach before I touch them).

Lowering Options
i believe is possible to lower it up to 3/4” which is fine to normal road drive and for the track as well.
