Scuffed a rear rim a few weeks ago. Replacement rim is here. considering lowering on factory bolts when I replace the rim. For all you guys/galls that have lowered your Zs: are you glad you did it? would you do it again? has anybody gone back to stock height because they were scraping too much?
I'd appreciate the comments - Drew

For looks alone it's worth it!

I like 'EM LOW!!!

I followed GM's guideline and just had the car dropped 15mm's..

Looks better and I figure they know more about the suspension design than I do...so wtf..

Took the highboy look away and not an issue on the street..

I lowered mine with aftermarket bolts and cut the bushings. It is absolutely awesome. I would do it again in a heart beat.

Lowered mine a couple of weeks ago and love it. Not only does it look better but I think that the car drives better as well. Car just feels tighter. Just do it!

and yes, i like em low

I had mine lowered for about a year and I liked it. However I have raised it part of the wa y back up. Scraping on speed bumps, cracking my splash guards and bottoming out upon rare occaisions pushed me to raising it. As a daily driver I seem to find more and more speed bumps in my path.

I enjoy the look and ride, but I am very careful around steep inclines, speed bumps and road dips. A few scrapes out of sight but overall very satisfied.

Only regret was that it wasnt done SOONER.

#1 best appearance mod you can do, and its basically free

Mine is lowered on stock bolts with 2/3 of the bushings cut...it sits a little lower in the rear but, I don't scrape very often. I love it.

thanks for the comments. I think I'll do it but likely stay to the 10-11 mm, the same all the way around.

I love mine lowered.... you can always adjust it later back up to stock height...

Lowered on stock bolts, no cut bushings, rail savers installed.

I love it. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. By the way, railsavers are a great peace of mind investment. I've hit them a couple times on big drops. Glad they are there.
