Lowering Bolts (AGAIN)
Took out the factory bolts and replaced with West Coast Corvette bolt kit and screwed them all the way up!! I have driven the car about 300 plus miles. Maybe dropped half an inch. Just can't understand what I'm doing wrong. I'm trying to get at least another inch. Thanks Guys!!

If your talking about the rear then you need to back the nuts off to lower it. That is why the wcc bolts are longer than stock. Do you have a picture of the bolts with the rear suspension?

Watusi, That's exactly what I did w/ my 03 Z. The results are about the same as you described. Soon I'll be taking the adjusters conmpletely out. This may drop it another 1/2-3/8 of an inch. I'm on the lookout for a set of (Phaft ?) coil overs to do things right. This would be one of my winter mods. Good luck.
