Raised front end to stock height
My 2004 Z06 was lowered on stock bolts. Bottomed out so no front shocks and little spring if any?
I put the front on jack stands and raised the springs up on each side individually. I screwed the bolts down to stock setting height. Now I can go over speed bumps slowly and not bottom out. I can back out of my driveway and not rub the air dams on the asphalt. The ride is forgiving now compared to a rough ride. The gap between the front tires and the wheel well took a minute to accept as normal. Pushing down on the front of the car and feeling the shocks work made it worth the effort. If anything I might go halfway with the bolts and see how that rides.
