Get Patches to send you a few pics of the bolts that need to be lowered. It is really easy to do when you see his pics. I will look for the thread...

You can also do this mod without removing the wheels. Just a FYI to save you some time. I lowered my 99 C5 and it took me all of maybe 20 minutes to do. Very easy!!

Leave at least 2, preferably 3 threads above the nut to maintain the strength of the bolt. Has to do with maintaining the tensile strength of the fastener. Do not lower any further without replacing with a longer Grade 6 bolt.
