Hey guys I have my corvette lowered on aftermarket lowering bolts,
front is all the way down,
I would like to give it an inch lift back up,
my car handles amazing, I spend over 200 miles messing with Ferrari F8 Tributo yesterday,
but it’s much lower than I would like and very hard to drive safely without scraping front lip.
Then take your jack and a block of wood and support the end of the spring on the side you want to adjust first. Push up slightly on spring with jack. You want to unload the spring a good bit but not enough to lift the car off the jackstands.
Take a 10mm socket and ratchet and in this case crank down the adjusters to lift the front of the car back up.
Repeat process on the other side.
You may have to chase it a little bit to get it exactly how you wont it front to back and left to right.
Also be patient in between adjustments and drive the car around a good bit.
I'm not familiar with aftermarket lowering bolts but if you raise it back up make sure there is plenty of thread engagement into the threaded inserts of the spring.
I was lowered all the way down on stock bolts for a while and the car was damn near useless as far as getting around speed bumps and driveways. I couldn't imagine aftermarket lower bolts

I think that the aftermarket bolts had a thinner cushion, on the end of the bolt, so you after you had it screwed all the way "in", it was about 1/8" shorter than the overall length of an OE bolt. At one time (still might be), there was a supplier called 'Hardbar', that sold those bolts with a Delrin tip, rather than rubber. I think their reasoning was that the Delrin pad would slide easier on the spring.
