i know the regular C4s can get lower from the rear by changing a few bolts,just wondering if the ZR1 is the same?
also,would the ZR1 look funny with just the rear lowered??
do you have to do the front too??
any info would be great:spin:
thanks in advance:cheers:

I lowered mine and then I brought it back. I had to realign the car all over again. I didn't like the feel at high speeds with the lower rear and it felt like the front was coming up on me. I also kept scrapping the back if I went over a bump too fast. I brought it back to stock. They do sell complete kits to change the whole rear suspension, but I'm happy with my ZR1 just stock. I do have to admit that my ZR1 still doesn't handle like a C5.

Welcome to the forum both ZR1 and KingZR1. Nice to see some new members. FatherLarry and Dave Bright are good friends. I don't own a Z but from people I've talked to, they lowered it thinking it would give better handling for competition. Big mistake. They thought it would give better traction on the 1/4 mile. Big mistake. Everyone I know that lowered it eventually went back to stock. Save your money. It's a ZR1 man. It doesn't need anything.:nono: :nono: :nono:
