This is absolutely the WRONG way to do it, unless you just forgot to mention gluing on the aftermarket wedges. If you did it this way, your frame is sitting on your fiberglass spring.

I have the R-DRacing Cross Frame with the standard 91 Z-07 setup and I have to be reeeaaally careful and avoid most speed bumps and my X brace is welded which eliminated the bottom plate and bolt heads. Myself, I won't go any lower and my car autox's like a bandit already. For me the gain would be too small to see the benefit.
