Help!!!!!!!
I know we have had a lot of talk about lowered cars. But I need some help. The other day my CCW's 505a's come in. Also I got the brake kit from Daemon Motorsport/ Stop Tech. I installed the brake kit with no problems. I cut the bushings in the rear and turn the bolts in the front to lower the car. This is where my problem begins. The tires on the CCW"s are 305-30-19 rear 275-30-19 front. After I put her on the ground, the left side front and rear is to high. After putting in two bushings back in the rear and adjusting the bolts 4 or 5 times. I get the rear to 27 and half inches off the ground from the fender well. My problem is the front is to high. With the bolts all the way in. The L/F is 27 1/2 inches and the R/F is 27 11/16 inches. When I adjust the L/F to raise it the same height to the R/F they are both moving up. The right very little. Right now I turned the L/F 2 1/2 turns clockwise to bring it up. L/F is now 27 1/2 inches and R/F is 27 3/4 inches. If I turn the L/F up I will be above 28 inches. How many of have you cut the front bushings. I couldn't find any instuctions on this. Sorry this is so long. I would be gratefull for any help.

Drive your car for about 100 miles - it will settle and then make your final adjustment and get a 4 wheel alignment.

It will settle. You should wait until it settles and then try and adjust it from there...

Yep! Let it settle. I was scared to death after "lowering" mine. It looked like a 4x4 but everyone told me to go drive it around for a half hour (luckily it was dark). When I came back, it looked great. After a week or so, it got even better.
Just make sure that you've turned all the bolts the same amount, regardless of how it looks after being up in the air. When it settles, you should be pretty close.
