Doing the lowering wedges makes the car softer imo.
You might consider taking out one or both bushing shims as that will get you some drop without having to remove the spring 100% (it is easier and about 2/3rds the work). The ZR-1 (early cars at least) has two shims presumably due to the weight of the LT5, whereas the coupe/vert came with just a single shim or no shim.

Sorry for bumping this thread back to the top but I haven't heard the results of Yun's changes and what changes he settled on with his car. I want to lower our 94 1.5"-2" without having to install coilovers. Have talked with Vette Brakes & Products about one of their adjustable front springs like Jeff Moore has on his 91 ZR-1. Only possible downside I can see with one is the 900-1K spring rate but the ability to adjust the ride as easily as a C5 is a bonus.
Mike,can you post a photo of the bushing shims you're referring to in the above post?
