Default Another lowering (NOT) question

I've been reading a thread on lowering and it said you have to leave 1 or 2 thread showing on the stock bolts in the rear. :confused:

Ok, I know what bolts they are talking about and have looked at mine. They have ~ 2 threads showing. I bought the car used, does this sound like it has been lowered?

My prefernce is to have it at stock height front and rear. Does anybody know how to check and/or set it back to stock heights front and rear?

:cheers:

2 threads showing does suggest that it has previously been lowered. What does it measure from the ground up thru the center of the wheel to the fender? Mine measured 28 7/8" in the rear before I lowered it. To raise it back up, just reverse the lowering procedure...turn the bolts the opposite way. Hope this helps...

That's kind of what I expected to undo lowereing, where to measure and the dimensions are what I need to find. Do you remember the front measurement?

Thanks, :cheers:

Stock, the front was 1" to 1 1/8" less.
