These look great. I jealous and confused. 
I tried to lower my car and the front adjusters are set significantly differently from each other. I can only get about two turn of adjustment from the left front with the load taken off. 
I seems I can get the normal amount of adjustment from the right side. The car does sit level now. Anyone ever heard of this before?

If you only get 2 turns then it sounds like your lowered the max amout on the front already. Keeping it level is important... adjust as low as you can go and keep it level if possible. I don't remember if my bolts were different spots when I first adjusted them... I just turned the front all the way up till they both stopped.

Yet, the car is level. This really concerns me. I guess I will take it to my alignment guy to see what he thinks is happening.

Thank you for the response. My end result was it is not lowered at all. I still have the 3" gap all the way around. The front adjusters are adjusted to the opposite extremes. Yet, the car is level.

I thought I read that if you have the z51 it doesn't lower much then the non z51? Maybe someone can chime in. Also when did you do it? Make sure you put some miles on her to let the car settle. Driving around the block doesn't count either if your one of those guys,
