Default Finally Got it Lowered!!! Pic

So as soon as i got off work today i took out the jack and went to work!
I cut the busings on the back and went all the way down on the front

i LOVE the way it looks, i use to be able to fit my fist in between the tire and the wheel well but now it like a 2 in gap. all my friends the told me it was a stupid idea came over after i was done and started to drool

the front you just run all the way down until its tight then back it off 1/4 of a turn... the back i just pulled the bolt out and there is a rubber busing on each side, i just took the top part off of each with a kitchen knife lol. then put your bushings back in, put the nut back on and only leave 2 to 3 threads showing.. but yeah super easy...

do a thread search and there is a DIY with pictures... back when i bought the Vette i printed off every DIY i would ever want to do, then when im done i throw it away... the stack is getting smaller
