Mission Accomplished!!
Finished the lowering and the Bilstein Sports today, (ZO6 sways and aluminum endlinks allready installed)
Front:Removed factory spring bolt, installed a piece of polyurethane between the spring and the lower control arm.
Rear:Removed factory bolt, and replaced with 8" bolt.
Let me tell you the ride difference is like night and day, very impressed, and "It Looks Sick man",that was a Quote from my daughters ricer gearhead boyfriend,lmao.

That is bad ***! Good job! IMO, you may want to raise the back to match the front. With you in the car, it will sink even lower then it looks uneven when you cruise. whats sucks is that the front will never be as low as the back unles youdo coil overs.
