Lowering the Z (again!)

Well as the title states, last weekend I lowered my Z on stock bolts without cutting the bushings. AllKar insisted that I would be back re doing it this weekend with new longer bolts and cutting the bushings, and he was right! I need just a bit more (maybe 1 inch), so it's off to the garage to do the job again! I'll be sure to post before and after pics when I'm done! Off to the garage (allot worse ways to spend ones day off!)

I've got some longer bolts if you want them.

Does lowering the car like this change the suspension geometry??? If so what are the long term effects on the car after lowering it?? I love the look of a lowered car but don't want to sacrifice performance/durability for it either. Thoughts???

Who has a good tutorial on cutting the front bushings? Seems like I remember seeing one with pics included.

Maybe it was "Patches"....he has everything!
