Default lowering c5 z06

I lowered my car using the stock bolts, just wondering if that will affect the tire wear at all or if i need to get it aligned again.
Thanks

Idid the same and did not have my tires aligned. They still look great after more than one year and 6000 miles.

This may sound dumb, but is there a "how-to" somewhere on lowering the C5? Having had a C4 I'm pretty sure the rear of the C5 is lowered in close to the same manner as the C4's rear, but what is the method for the front?

I'm glad you brought that up, I have been wondering about that myself. looks pretty darn easy though.

WELL, THAT BRINGS UP A QUESTION ?. DOES LOWERING THE REAR END RAISE THE NOISE LEVEL, CAUSE MINE IS REALLY LOUD.

I can't see how lowering your C5 could somehow increase road noise. I would suspect your tires. As tires wear, many get louder.
