Lowering Ride Height On C8

[Gilles27]

I have been reading quite a few post about scraping the front splitter and if the Z51 package it worth the $5900, I'm actually planning on lowering mine to get rid of some of that gap between the tire and fender when I get it with the luxury of easily doing it as another benefit of the Z51 only. As for optioning my car it was the only box I ticked if for no other reason than having the best brakes you can get with a car could be that 10 feet shorter stopping distance that saves your life.

Anyone else panning to lower their car?

The Z51 on the C8 will have an ride adjustable coilover suspension, you can move the perch where the spring rests to change the ride height.
The non Z51 cars will probably require shorter springs to reduce ride height since the lower perch won't be adjustable.

nope

I'm not getting one, but if I were, I would lower it as far as it could go, #becauseracecar

Read that it can be lowered 1.57" with Z51, I'm going to start somewhere between .75" and 1" and go from there.

To combat the wheel gap, I'm going to put on 50 series tires...

 

[JoeyBats]

Not lowering mine.

You're kidding right, that would be so wrong!

 

[Jack Raccoon!]

I make jokes. That's what I do...

OK, so with the Z51 package you can adjusted the height of the car ? do you need the magnetic ride ? sorry about the question it will be my first corvette, thanks

No you don't need the magnetic ride but cannot be done if you get the lift system

I will probably lower mine if it looks anything like the pics we've seen so far. Too much gap in those wheel wells..

I would lower mine a bit to get rid of the wheel gap. Nothing too drastic, I'm too old to be inconvenienced by scraping everywhere.
