Simple lowering ?
I had my C4 lowered a couple moths ago
. I just noticed that the pass side rear is 1/2 inch higher then the drivers side rear. Do I just turn the bottom bolt (pass side rear) counter-clickwise a few turns?

Basically. You actually want to turn the nut counter-clockwise. Put a wrench on the top of the bolt to keep it from turning, and measure and mark on the bottom of the bolt where you want to stop. Also, I don't know about your nuts, but mine are Nyloc (nylon locking), so they are REALLY hard to back off. It took a lot of grunt.

I have urethane bushings, and I ended up cutting the upper bushings for the bolts in half. As they are urethane, deflection etc is no concern, but it gave me the extra threads I needed, and I already have 11 inch bolts. Mine is lowered a little more than most, so I needed etc threads to adjust that STANDARD C4 annoying one side is higher/lower than the other issue.

I did the best I could just now turning (lowering) the nut. I'm at the end of the bolt, so there is no more lowering that I can do. I did not want to go to low. I measured from a certain point, point A to point B. I'm at 2.5 1/2 inches (that's 2.5 and one half inches) on one side of the rear and 2.7 inches on the other. I'm off .1 1/2 (that's one tenth and one half inches) CLOSE ENOUGH
