lowering question......
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I lowered my car front and back longer bolts in the rear, and cut the bushings in the front and backed off the bolts as far as they go.
The question is.... My front passenger is 1/2" higher than the driver??????
Any ideas????

you measure from the frame to a level floor. You want the frame level across the front and rear and about 1/4" rake from front to back. Measure at the factory jacking points on the side of the frame.

That is normal. Adjust each side until it is even. Grond was the same - had to raise one side to even it out.

When I installed Z06 springs the heights were the same as before.
You can adjust all four corners a tad to compensate.
All frames are NOTcreated equal.......... apparently!
