How do lower the front even more?
Recently lowered the car (front and back) using the stock bolts and standard lowering procedures (did not cut the bushing in the back). I like the new set up but the front could be a touch lower for my liking. Anyway of doing that? (Keep in mind I turned the bolts counter clockwise as much as they would go so no more room in that adjustment)
Any suggestions?
TIA

If you're wondering how anyone could want to lower his Vette, just check out all of the lowering posts here. LOTS of people lower their Vettes. (Incidentally, the scraping you hear is likely the rubber airdam pieces, and nothing to think twice about.)
To the original poster, yeah, just cut the bushings. Then make sure you drive the car for a week or so -- only then will the car "settle" to its new height.

Can you cut the bushings with the bolts still in? I think I say like three ribs after lowering completely. Can I just cut one rib without removing the bolts off? I don't want to raise the back, but currently I have no rake...I am at 4.5" from and back....I would like to go down about .5 "
