lowering the rear
Hi all
I replaced the original 16" wheels and tires on my 85 with 315/35/17s now I think there's a gap that's to big between the fender and the tire. I bought the rear lowering bolt and bushing kit from corvette mods my question is if I lower the rear 1"1/2 or 2" will that affect the alignment?

I would guess that with the bolts in the kit and new rubber you will only get an inch lower.
