Default Lowering (actually raising) help!!!

I need to raise the front, it's just too low for appropriate suspension performance at the trac, but I have limited trial and error time at my disposal.

I have a little less than 2 fingers clearance now, need to go to a little more than 2...so maybe 1/2" upward.

How many turns?

Normally I'd just trial and error it, but as I said I have limited time before my next track day and necessary pre-track day alignment.

Thanks for any suggestions!!!

Are the bushings cut off? Should be about the same amount of threads on the adjuster bolt.

Yeah, bushings are cut, and yes you make a good point.

"Duh" he says while hitting himself in the head.

I suppose 1/2" on the bolt would be 1/2" higher...sorry...embarrased...
