Not sure why anyone wants to lower a Corvette. I like my C7 just as it is.

I'm just not a fan of the wheel gap. The non Z51 Stingrays don't look too bad and honestly it may be all of the Stingrays but the C7 GS, Z06 and ZR1 have too much wheel gap. Just my opinion although I know many other C7 owners that feel the same way which is why many of them add larger wheels. But that can present another issue so unfortunately there's no perfect fix for those of us that do not care for it.

GM actually recommends a slight drop to improve track performance on the ZR1, it’s in the manual. As someone who tracks a Z51 I went with smaller wheels to save weight. I lowered mine but had to go back up slightly to avoid rubbing. However I am running wider tires and different offset from factory. The wheel gap on these cars does look bad, my brothers 911 is way more tucked looking from the factory.

You're right, GS and Z06 don't lower as much as Stingrays on stock bolts. GM decided that track monsters need more suspension travel. Does it need that much gap for any other time? Probably not. Drive it around carefully like you already do, and enjoy the improved looks. For those that worry about scraping, just raise yours to the max and remove the lower aero bits.

I got mine !

I cheated to close up my wheel gap on my '17 GS Z07. Kept the stock ride height, but when it came time to replace the Pilot Sport Cup tires, I got Continental Extremes in 35 aspect ratio instead of the stock size 30's. The slightly taller sidewalls closed up the gaps front and rear, gave a slightly higher ride height to reduce scrapes, tiny bit more compliant ride with minimal reduction in sharp turn-in (it's a street car after all). Nothing rubs and the wheel wells look full.

It cost me about $100 to lower it. It's pretty easy. They just turn a screw basically that lowers the car. No lowering springs or anything extra needed. One of the bolts that allows for lowering got stuck so we could only lower it about a half of an inch in front instead of 3/4". He said that happens sometimes.

Hey buddy - I was at Corvette World planning to lower my C7 Z06 - post a discussion with Keith and team - I have questions for you before I do it - what material effects have your ride quality and handling had post the lowering? I am on sport suspension setting all the time and do not like the bone jarring will of track suspension setting - does lowering make it feel stiffer due to reduced suspension travel? Did you notice any changes in handling and cornering ability ? Any other concern? And by the way love the videos - subscribed already - love to see folks from DFW making such awesome content.

Thank you sir! I had mine lowered on stock bolts and I had an alignment done shortly after. I normally drive in Touring mode unless I’m driving fast and want better handling.

My wife’s Camaro drives tougher than my C7 even after lowering. I highly recommend. Thanks again for watching. Let me know if you have any other questions.
