The part of the bolt that contacts the A-arm has a rubber piece on it. Vengence trimmed the rubber piece. I may be wrong, but I don't think you can get the stock bolt all the way out of the car without removing the spring. Their (Vengence) car looks great, but I don't think I could live with it quite that low on local roads.

Some people have cut the rubber piece with bolts in place using a sawzall. I would be leery of doing that myself.

Now when the Z is in the most aggressive driver mode (I use the race setting as default) the Z feels tighter and more dialed in. If you decide to lower the car or keep the car at the original height, I recommend your consider the complementary alignment. According to the magazines, the press cars are set to racing specs. I decided to keep my alignment at non race specs, the race specs are in your owner’s manual. Sorry this was typed from my IPhone without my glasses... Happy holidays

Picture of my car lowered all the way on factory bolts.
Great looking car and great advice.
