Need lowering info
I already lowered my car to the max on stock bolts. I would like to know what measurements those who done this have gotten from the top of the wheel wells to the ground, f & r. Also, does anyone know how much lower the front will go if cutting the front bushings.

I'm at 26" up front and 26 9/8" in the rear with cut bushings. You should expect a difference of 3/8" to 1/2 " between non-cut bushings and cut bushings. Also make sure you give it some time to settle (200 miles or more) and then do an alignment.

That's 25 3/4" and 26 1/2" for the math-challenged
