Thanks, My front was 27 3/4" now 26 3/4'' , the rear started at
28 1/2'' ended at 27 1/4'' . I did use bolts in rear and went as low as
26 7/8'' but didnt like the rake I had. These are all fender measurements
but when I did the lowering I also used frame measurements .I hope this helps .

Hi Crabr1 -

nice!

I want my car to be like that in the front, but a little higher in the rear - I will have to go to longer bolts in the rear, and I am thinking if I took one segment of the front bushing.......Damn mod fever - Tracy told me not to go there.......

best regards -
