lowering question
I am planning on lowering my car tonight on the stock bolts without cutting the bushings. My question is do I have to remove the front wheels to lower the front??
Also, where should I put my jack in the front of the car?? The tutorial I read said to use the front cross member. Will this be obvious to me when I get under there????
Also, what about alignment? Will I need one? My car has alignments under warranty for the first 7500 miles, think I could it under warranty if I lower it???

Mine was lowered without taking off the front wheels but by jacking up the spring to take pressure off.
I would suggest an alignment once the lowering of the car has settled in a couple weeks.

I lowered mine 2 days ago and it took less than an hour and did NOT remove the front wheels. Just turned them so the back of wheelwell was exposed. It was much easier than I had hoped for!!! I still have room to go but after 2 days I have gone down almost 3/4".
