Front End higher than rear?
I was wondering if someone can help me. I lowered my car this weekend and the front is higher than the rear. I cut the front bushings so that only one disk remained and I lowered the rear so that 4-5 threads are showing. Is it possible to lower the front more, will it settle? I don't want to raise the rear, because I like the slammed look. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

That seems unusual. Did you turn the front bolts the right way...? As it stands, you lower the fronts as far and the rears as far, the car still remains a little nose down.
Which way did you turn the fronts...?

Roadvette, if you want to slam it, take the front bolts completely out and buy longer bolts for the rear. You'll probably need some help prying the lower control arm enough to work the bolt out. Let me know.
Edit; I took my front bolts completely out with no problems since, but beware if speedbumps and dips. :hurray:

Hey guys, thanks for the replies. I just took the wheels off (front) and made sure the spring was lowered as low as it could go. I am able to fit two fingers between the rear tire and fender and four fingers between the front tire and fender. Is it that the front needs more time to settle, or should I remove the bolt altogether? Again thanks for your input. By the way, should I ditich the old springs, swaybars and shocks? They are base and have 50,000 on them or are they worth anything? I'm guessing they make good wall art. Thanks.
