Question on lowering and using pucks
As the front air dam is already what, 3 1/2 inches off the ground, if I use the stock bolts and lower, does the dam drop to like 2 1/2 - 2 3/4 inches? I already run on just about every little dip or speed bump, though I know it's designed to take it. Seems like it will rub on just about everything, but I love the lowered look.
Also, can I use the same pucks I got for my C5 on the C6? I'll have to jack it up to get to the lower bolts, and so this might be important to know!

If you lower your car I would sugest installing Rocker Protection Rails to prevent the possablity of rocker damage due to high centering. And you won't need the pucks anymore.

Usually it is just a matter of turning the existing lowering bolts...but if you have a Z06 it might be different. There are several threads on how to do it if you do a search.

Lowering bolts
I did the fronts only so far. (twice as a matter of fact) Each side on the front takes about 15 minutes. You need a floor jack, a jack stand, and a 10mm box wrench. Put a piece of paper tape around the bolt with an ink mark on it and turn it counterclockwise. count the turns to make both sides even. I went 2 1/2 turns. I haven't tried the rear yet.
