How to lower the rear end a bit

Ok guys got a question. I want to lower the rear of my 86 vette. I am lookng to just even things up a bit, there is to much gap between the well and tire. Any recommendations?

I used the lowering kit. Just replacement bolts for the rear spring. Can get them at any of the fine Forum Sponsors, Ecklers, Corvette Central etc... Would take about an hour to install, then should get a rear alignment.

If your bushings are good you just need the bolts. This is what I used

You will need to get an alignment also
