Default Lowering a Z06

I'm sure this has been answered before, and if it has please point me in the right direction. I'm looking to lower my 01 z06. I know how to do the back, but I would appreciate any help you guys could give me on doing the front.

Thanks

Take special note of how they unload the suspension in the second pic. Also note that the third pic of the front suspension should look like this:


It is very simple once you get the hang of it :)

Try and get an even drop all around (same amount in front as rear) if you are really concerned with ride quality. This requires leaving 4 or 5 threads showing in the rear
