Default Changing Height

I know that usually people are wanting to lower their vettes but my car is too low for the crappy streets in my area and my second set of wheels will be 17in fronts versus current 18in. The car has the Z06 lowering up front...it came to me that way..can a mechanical idiot (thats me) adjust the height themselves???

yup its very easy - just turn the front the opposite the way they tell ya to lower, (you want to "screw" the bushing down further into spring)
