F-55 Lowering
Now that we have moved on beyond "the best carpets", has anyone with the F-55 suspension lowered their car? Any issues? I thought I remebered reading a thread or two, but have done a search and didn't come up with anything. Similar question with Hotchkis sway bar, i.e., is it compatible with the F-55?
Thanks,
Joe

I have F55 and I've lowered mine on the stock bolts all the way. I only got a drop of about 1/2" at each wheel. It's been that way for over a year with no problems.
Should be no problems with the different sway bars. I know that a number of F55 owners here have put on the Z06 sways with great results.

I have a 2004 convertible with F55 and had it lowered back in December 2004. It was lowered on the stock bolts with 2/3 of the bushings cut off. I forgot to measure it before lowering but it did lower it a lot and I have not had any problems whatsoever because of it. I have only put about 500 miles on it since lowering but I assume it has settled as far as it will and any problems would have surfaced by now.
Lower is better!!

P.S. You know the guy on TV that always says, "Hey, that thing got a Hemi?". Well, he got beside me the other day and said, "Hey, that thing been lowered?".
