Default Need help with lowering my Z06

I have been shown how to lower the front of my car, but I have also been told that I can lower the back of it with just a few turns of one bolt in each side. If this is true, which bolt am I looking for, and how do I go about doing this?

LingenfelterC5,

Your sig picture looks about how I'd like to lower my Z.

How far did you lower? (how many turns/or whatever reference you used)

Is this "all the way in the front/2 threads in back/stock bolts"?

thanks

I turned my stock bolts all the way and it lowered it probably 1/4 inch.
