Today I attempted to lower the car. I worked on the front first, I turned the 10mm bolt counter clockwise, I left 1/4 inch in bushing space. The car did not lower, whats the problem? The rear went fine.
Go for about a 50 mile drive, it should drop down by the time you get home. :)
Yep -- what Carl said. Seems to be a combination of driving and time. I think most of us did the ol' "Holy crap -- I think I RAISED the damn car!" thing when we first get her down off the jack stands/lift. It's normal. It'll just take time and miles.
(Incidentally, by time I mean that it might not go down to it's final resting height for at LEAST a week. The more you drive it, though, the more your help the process.)
You may also want to get the alignment done - most cars can use a tweak or two - make sure you advise the alignment shop about what you have done and the type of driving you intend to do.
