Remeasured car...
Measured the car tonite, and after 5 days, the rear was 27 1/2" - now it's 27" The front was 26 3/4" & is still the same - no change. The front still needs to come down some, any suggestions??
The front was 27 1/2" before lowering, & the rear was 28 3/4" Used the stock bolts.

And finally, if that isn't low enough then go get yourself some coilovers.

K... here's a pic. The front bushings have been cut - It still measures the same almost a week later 26 3/4" The rear dropped 1/2 " already.
What's my options?? I want this the same size as the back. Thanks!

Stock Z shocks won't cut it in my opinion.. Get some Bilstein Sports.. They are designed for a lowered car..
