Cheapest Lowering (advice Wanted)
Car has the adjustable suspension removed and Z06 Shocks....
I want to get rid of the tire well gap..but not get so low that drive ways are a problem.
1. I see threads about cuttin bushings?
2. I read about longer rear bolts and removing front bolts.
The picture on my signature is my car..I want to get the gap down to 1 inch or 3/4 inch.
What would be the easiest way?
