Default lowering car, need help...

I am about to put some new rotors/pads on my car (as soon as they arrive)!!!

Figured it might be a good time to lower the car also.

Is there anybody out there with access to a lift they can help me out?
Just looking to lower on the stock bolts, maybe an inch at most.

Located in Coatesville, PA. Willing to travel, DE, MD (PA/DE border), possibly NJ, southeastern PA also.

Thanks.
Rick

Yep, simple mod. You can do it in your garage in about an hour or so with no lift. Just follow the directions you got here and you'll be good! Enjoy!
