Default C-5

I did this for my son's 2000 coupe. If I remember correctly, it was pretty easy to do. I think we found out how to do it on the C-5 section of this forum. As far as a shop is concerned, try Advanced Performance on West Linebaugh in Tampa. They did the alignment on my 66, my son's 2000 coupe and my NSX. All came out great. Mike owns the shop and you will need an appointment. Jerry

Default Did you get your car lowered?

just wondering, easy to do, just use a jack to take pressure off of bolt and turn screw.

Turn the Bolt so that when you turn the Bolt until the Bolt is flush up against the Spring. Spray a little WD-40 on the bolt and once you take pressure off of the Bolt you should be able to turn the Bolt with your Hand.

So when it's flush with the spring does it mean that it will be a low that it can go when the car is lowered to the ground again?

thank you
