What do you guys use to lower your front? Mine is just on stock bolts. Did you cut your bushings or get longer bolts? I've been thinking about slamming mine. I put longer bolts on the back so I can go lower back there but the front is pretty much all the way down on stock bolts.

My Yellow Coupe pic above, cut 2/3 off front bishings. Any lower and big problem scraping.

Just raised the back up a little today to make it even with the front which is as low as it will go. Being a black car it's kind of hard to see but here ya go...

Hey Gary, long time no see. Didn't you say you had cut your front bushings? If so, how much?

I have noticed that with reagards to the rear, you have to look at the car at all angles and take the average. The rear may not look low enough at all angles, but it will look too low at some of the most important angles. You must be ready to accomodate this unless you slam the hell out of it all around.
