Default Lowering bolts?

I recently purchased a lowering kit from ZIPS. I got the back end of the car lowered fine but i do have questions about the front. Do i really have to disassemble most of the front to do just one bolt? If anybody knows a very good way to lower the front end with this kit and can be more precise on what all needs to be done i would greatly appreciate it. It just seems like alot needs to be done in the front.
thanks

If you are going to change the front bolts, then yes you have to take alot apart. It's really not very hard. Adjusting the front bolts is just a matter or reaching the bolts.

Mat, I'm assuming by your profile, that you have an 02 Z. If that's the case, this is an excellent how to lower a Z, by taking out the original adjusting bolts and installing after markets w/ bushings deleted. These instructions are what I used to put in my after market adjusters on my 03 Z. Good luck. http://www.corvetteforum.cc/techtips...D=90&TopicID=1
