Adjust ride height
I must raise the front end of my C5 because it's to low. The car was lowered previously without my consent and it scrapes on all driveways and minor bumps. I've been told the lower A frames must be disconnected to remove the preload on the spring. I'm sure some people have found other methods for adjusting the bumper on the front spring, what are they?

There's no need to remove anything for adjusment (I removed the upper a-arm only when replacing the spring). With the car lifted (ramps or jack stands), lift the spring ends with a jack to relieve tension on the bushing adjuster. I used a floor jack w/ a block of wood in between. I'm fairly certain that stock height is about 6 turns from the bottom for the front bushing.
