I wish I could tell you that I had a prescribed plan, but I didn't. I marked the rear bolts and loosened them 4 complete revolutions. Drove the car about 20 miles, then took new measurements, which showed a 1/2 inch drop. I knew I wanted to go a little lower, so I did the math and figured that another 2 turns would give me another 1/4". Did that, drove the car again, took another set of measurements,and wound up exactly where I wanted it to. The front bolts were turned about 2-1/2 complete revolutions to achieve the 1/2" drop.
By the way, the front bolts ARE NOT reverse threaded. Turn them counter-clockwise to drop the front end.
I am much happier with the way it looks now.
