Lowering the front
I know that there have been countless threads explaining how to lower the C5.
I lowered my 2003 yesterday by adjusting the stock adjustment bolts, no bushing cutting.
I am happy with he rear, looks a lot better but the front still needs to be lower.
How do you know how much to tighten (counterclockwise I know) the front adjusters?. Some articles say that you can tighten them all the way and then back them off a quarter of a turn, is this correct?
I just tightened the adjusters until I had about half an inch of thraed shwing above the leaf spring.
Any clarification will be greatfully received.

I put my front all the way down and did not back off half a turn or whatever........
Sorry no pics yet.......I know shame on me.
I say, just go all the way down and if you don't like it readjust it later.
It did take about 3 days of driving around till the front settled.
