there is a DYI write up on this. search the internet for lower C5 on stock bolts...

It is free (not including your labor and beer consumption).

He shows a pic of the rear bolt in the description for the fronts so I'll post my pics for clarification.

Do you need to remove the back wheels to lower the car? Not sure, but in one of the pics, its seems as if the wheel is still on?

Just wondering? What a GOLDEN rule of thumb when lowering the car? How can once be exact they have done the exact lowering on BOTH sides if not all four sides? What are the do and dont's or lowering?
