What is the best way to mildly lower the front w/o degrading ride quality..? They are already lowered as far as they will go with the factory bolts. I know there is a bushing, but I don't want to lose my great ride quality. Only want to lower it .25-.50 an inch more in the front...

As far as I know, the only way to go is to cut the bushing. I was conservative, and only cut one rib off the bushing (about 1/2"). Ride is better, in my opinion.

So, are you saying this car has already had the front bolt turned as far as it will go? :confused: Then, that is all you can do. Next step is cutting bushings. I can tell you from experiance, if you cut the bushing the ride certainly is not going to get any better. I cut two thirds off the front of mine and I had to go to Bilsteins as my shocks bottomed on big bumps and it was bone jarring. The ride is 90% better, but in no way the same as factory. But, I would do it again on my next one without hesitation. :yesnod: :cheers:

Does any one know how much lower 1 rib vs 2 rib will make it...? My front fender is at 27 1/8 driver front, 27 3/8 pax ( :cuss ).

Yes, lowered to factory bolt stops. I'll check the tech section on how to get to the front bushings...
