Lowering bolts & alignment
the car needs alignment and I remember hearing you have to get it realigned after you replace the bolts in the rear to lower it. I figure I should go ahead and replace the bolts if I'm going to get it aligned anyway.
What size bolts do i need? and can i see some pics of some c4's w/ just the rear lowered around an inch. Thanks.

You can get the bolts and nuts (Grade 8) at a bolt/nut shop like i did for $12.00 or get a kit from MAD or Corvette Central for about $20.00...
Bolts that i got were: 1/2" x 11... the ones in the kits are 10" gave me some extra space to lower... and used double lock nuts...
