Default Lowering the rear

This has probably been discussed many times but I didn't catch it. I look through the Echlers catalog and see 10 in bolts to lower the rear. I want to lower it about 1 in. How hard is this ??? :confused:

So much easier than you could possibly imagine. You will need a jack, jackstands (or some other way to keep your car in the air) and a couple wrenches, that's it! The front is another matter, however.

careful when lowering only the rear. too much will screw with the aerodynamics enough to make the rear end feel loose...
