Default Lowering Z06 1/2 inch

I'm considering lowering my 03 Z06 1/2 inch. Does anyone have any idea on how many turns of the bolts to the 1/2 inch.

One complete turn of the spring adjuster bolt is equal to 2 mm (5/64 inch) It takes about 3 turns of the bolt to change the trim height by 1/4" so in your case it's 6 turns to get a 1/2"
