Lowered the Z some more...

I was messing around today and wanted to see if I could lower the Z a little more. I originally lowered it by adjusting the bolts down..

Looks terrific!!!!! Have you noticed it scraping much more? Did you just loosen the factory bolts or change them? Is the "before" picture after the first time you lowered it or the factory height?

Looks great (BTW, so do all of your other toys)!

But

. Do you think you'll have problems with it sitting that low?

I would actually go up just a tiny bit. It seems like the wheels might sit in the wells a little better. It's snug though. Nice Z06.

still seems a little high to me compared to the max adjustment on my C5. Is that the max adjustment? I have my C5 at the lowest it can go on the stock adjustment but I wouldn't want it any lower.

You need black wheels to complete the "nasty" look.

how do you lower it? is it difficult?
do you have a dead on view of the side picture, i.e. not a slanted side view?

His car with black wheels will be my car. And we'll both have the same sticker in the back

SW..please give me more info on that setup...how did you do it, does it rub at all, and does it help or hinder performance? thanks

Looks great.I just washed mine for the first time and was surprised how close the tires are to the wheel well already.Those tinted windows look great also.
