beside alignment, how does it affect suspension/handling?
I lowered the Z06 all the way down on stock bolts, no change in ride, handling.
But she didn't have electro magnetic ride though

I love that stance, that is exactly what im looking for. But i dont want to compromise handling or mess up the electro magnatic suspension.
I was wondering who had their ZR1 dropped on stock bolts?

I had the rear lowered on mine and it did jack the alignment up pretty good. I did nothing to the front. I had the car realigned and it is a beast now once again.

Anyone have issues with the rears rubbing on the fender and cutting into the tires?
Mine was lowered all the way on the stock bolts when I purchased it last month, but the rear tires would rub on the fender on hard bumps and was cutting into my tires. I could see the cuts and feel the rubber on the edge of the fender well. The rear tires are 335/25ZR20 on Vossen 20" rims. I raised it about 1/4" and I haven't noticed any more rubbing.

As long as you stay within the range of the stock bolts (and its a very small range) with full bushings, you're ok. Anything past that, and I'd think it would be compromising the shocks.

Here is ours, the silver 2010 next to the SSB. The dealer had lowered it on the stock bolts for a buyer whose deal fell through. Our friends' SSB is a standard height 2011. No issues until I recently put HRE P40SCs on it. Now, with the P40s, I get a slight rubbing/scraping/squealing sound when cornering aggressively under braking. I have communicated with two others who have lowered their ZR1s and installed the P40SCs. They are not experiencing the scraping sound. So, it is hard to say what is causing it. The CS reps at HRE explained that their offset for the ZR1 rims is a tad more aggressive than the factory offset. I have removed the front wheels to inspect the wheel well area and I can't see any signs of rubbing or abrasion. It's a little annoying but I love the look.
Here are a couple of shots with the new wheels.

Geez Pat, that is damn sexy! Are you all the way down? Do you think raising it just a bit would help with the rub? Inquiring minds want to know, as for some time I've been thinking about lowering mine. However, with the P40SC's, I figured it wasn't worth it. BTW, your wheels look amazing with the paint color, and I'm not normally a huge silver fan.
I still need to call HRE and ask about the grooves being cut in the barrels of both front wheels. Our discussion reminded me that when mine first were done, the fronts wouldn't fit. Thus, they had to be redone. Plus, the satin black finish has faded quite a bit.
Not to highjack the OP's thread, but given the cost, I expected more from HRE. In fairness to them, I'm gonna give their CS a shot at making it right. Thankfully, I hung onto my factory Comp Greys...

Jeff, not a complete HRE highjack, as their proprietary offset for the ZR1 wheels may be an issue if one is planning to lower their car. I, too, now have the matching gravel grooves on the inside of the front wheel barrels. But, and I am guessing, probably not as noticeable as it is with your darker finish. I would never have guessed how it happened had I not stopped and witnessed that piece of gravel wedged between the caliper and the barrel. You were reading my mind with the idea of cranking it back up a notch. I am going to break out the service manual today and see if that is something that I can do myself. I will be sure to post the results. Best of luck with the HRE customer service rep. HRE, IMO, is tops in style, quality, and not being afraid to charge a premium for same. Let's hope that they offer Nordstrom customer service to go along with their Nordstrom prices. I bet they do. Keep us posted.
