C6 Z06 -- How low can you go on lowering bolts?
 

Looking for some information on how low you can go on lowering bolts on a C6Z.

For reference, is the car pictured below possibly done on aftermarket bolts or is this for sure on coilovers?

Lowering bolts with cut bushings can go about 2.5".

^ That looks SICK! Which LB kit do you have?

no to hijack but... please MORE pics of this car! I have been thinking about doing that to the back of my car. is it a wrap? is your car AO or DSOM? My Z is AO...

YOUR CAR LOOKS GREAT:rock:

Looks sick. 2nd to ask, is the rear fascia a wrap, Plsti-dip, painted? Is the roof and halo the same? Looks awesome.

When you say "how low?" are you looking for height by numbers or just photo comparisons?

I will give both...measurements to the center of the fender well.

OEM bolts lowered all the way. OEM tires
RF- 26 3/8"
LF- 26 3/8"

Thanks. The rear and roof of my car is 3M Vinyl. I didn't want to paint over the factory DSOM. The bolts are from west coast corvette. There's more pictures on my instagram "C_beliovsky_J" and my photo bucket or google under "C5Z51". I am currently a tad lower on pfadt feathers.
Ibleedgreen, your car looks good. My second color choice.

I didn't measure but it's pretty low. Stock bolts with bushings cut. I had the shop lift the rear a bit. Gonna go back to lift it up some more. Front is slammed and I like it like that.

Im gonna lower mine also but im going with coilovers.... I think the ride gets a little choppy in the rear when u lower all the way down in the rear... Might be a good idea to go with bilsteins or DRM shocks

ao is atomic orange , whats dsom?

You don't have to go back to the shop to have them lift the rear for you. You don't even have to lift the car. Get a ratchet under there and twist it clockwise from the top. Easy breezy...

Daytona Sunset only made in 06, and was replaced with AO in 07

Thanks! I may do it myself so I can play with it until I'm 100% happy.

Yeah that's what I did. 3 full turns from the bottom worked for me :thumbs:

:thumbs::cheers:

How is that 3M Vinyl holding up?

So far it's doing well. I had the roof of my SRT8 wrapped for a couple of years with no issues, and that car stayed outside all the time.

I got 3/4" from the stock bolts. Do not cut the bushings,they're there for a reason.

That is not typical with stock bolts... You got lucky.
