I just put my Z06's on to post some pics so you guys could help me. I really am not looking to lower it if i dont' really need to. Please look in my sig. and go to my page and look at the first couple pics to let me know if it needs lowering in your opinion. Thanks alot

Normally, I would say without question - but with your GFX, I would say it is just up to you.

I think it would look better lowered, and very nice - BUT, your car doesn't "need" it as bad as others I have seen.

Nice ride.

It looks great as it is It might look a little better lowered but i wouldnt since you have a body kit. Keep it as is unless you want the curb to rip off your bumpers

Looks good!

In the top pic it looks like it needs it but in the second pic it looks fine

Looks good. I'd say its fine as is with the GFX, but its your call really. As long as your roads arent as bad as michigan's, it may not be that bad of an idea to lower it.

Re: Put on my 18 Z06's....look at pic and tell me if it needs lowering!!!

thanks guys.....yeah my roads here in KY are terrible, that's one reason i don't want to lower it....i ONLY wanted to if everyone else besides my eyes said it needed lowering, you know others opinions helps alot b/c alot of times you can't see a problem with your car if it's yours


but most definate if i didn't have gfx i would lower it...but i'm glad to see most ppl don't think it NEEDS it that bad

I would leave it, as a matter of fact I would leave the rest of the exterior alone, it looks nice like that.

Maybe a little drop but nothing to major.

I'd say go lower,maybe 1" at the most just to get rid of some of that wheel gap.Wheel gap looks weird with big wheels,although i'm used to working at a custom shop where seeing something tucking 20" wheels was the normal.

I think it looks good enough as it is and lowering it will make it ride like crap.

Re: Put on my 18 Z06's....look at pic and tell me if it needs lowering!!!

i would lower it a little as well.

no it's not needed since you have the gfx. i'm in the same boat, i plan to get 18" ZO6 or Y2k rims and i wanna drop it a small amount.

i'm looking into the BMR 1" springs, or possible the SLP springs which only drop .75" according to the company

yeah just seems like a lot of money and work to just lower it .75 to 1 in. though i'm not sure w/o looking hard if you could tell a diff or not
