Had the car after wheels lowered using the bolts...interesting and maybe why we are seeing diff levels coming out of factory. The rear was already lowered virtually all the way and the bolts would only go down.2 and the front took .75....had it done at Lashway mtr sports as I did not want to screw with it...he also measured each side and was $100.. Great shop owns a C7 ...Eric at Lashway mtr sports

Glen, thanks for stopping by.

Folks, if you'd like to come by to lower your vehicle we're happy to do so. Give us a call, PM, or email and we'll give you details. We've had the car for more than a month and know it in and out!

We have lowered 2 so far, and even though the alignment specs changed they were still with in spec. We do recommend whoever does lower there's to have the alignment check to ensure proper tire wear.

Good advice for sure...what's $60 when you just bout the greatest car on earth? CMON PEOPLE!

We're installing our custom wheels tomorrow and then I am slamming ours on aftermarket bolts...gunna look SCHWEET.

I have had three C6's and the most I got was 1.5" that's low.

Lowering bolts in Houston, TX?

Anyone from Houston that know a place that can do lowering bolts for the Stingray? Please let me know. Thanks

I got mine from corvette mods for 40 bucks and had a local shop do the drop and the 4 wheel alignment, it was 700 bucks but well worth it she looks great!!
I'll post some pics.
