Remove the front adjusting bolt. Longer bolts in the back, or
coilover shocks.

(my car has been lowered considerably...but the wheels/tires did not affect the height)

You can get longer bolts or cut the bushings!

Another inch??? I don't even have mine lowered all the way on stock uncut bolts, and I can't even stick the toe of my boot under the rubber side dams! Geez, if I went any lower, I could earn a couple extra bucks from the city as a street sweeper...
