front lowering thread?
I want to lower my front a bit more on the stock bolts. Can someone please post pics of exactly which bolts I loosen/Tighten? Or is there a good thread? I do not want to screw anything up. The rear end I already have lowered, but I want the front down a little more. Thanks

Front Before2. With some suspensions (like the F45) it is easier to get at the top of the bolt if the lower shock absorber bolts (13 mm) are removed so the shock can be moved out of the way.
3. Using a 10 mm socket on the top of the stud, turn counter-clockwise (like unscrewing - even though you are not, you are just on the opposite end of the bolt so it looks that way) until tight.
4. Back off the bolt about a 1/8 to ¼ turn to ensure it does not freeze in place in case you want to raise the car at some future date.
