Removed the stock GM shocks, bushings and leaf springs. Replaced by Phadt coilovers w/ poly bushings. Lowered 1 1/2" to remove that awful gap in wheel wells.

No problems city driving.

Can't believe you would do that to such a beautiful car

couldn't resist.......LOOKS GREAT...the wheel clearance on the stock car is just to much for me.....love the lowered look. I also cut 2/3 off my rear bushings and it really gives you a nice look. I also cut one inch off my front air dam and have no problems with scrapping. Don't forget to get it aligned. Enjoy YOUR car

Does anyone know if the bushingless bolts may ultimately damage the aluminum A arms?

Definitey need to cut some bushings to get her down there. My rear bushings have the bottom third section cut (riding on large middle section) and in this picture, the front is the same. Just finished up working on lowering the front more today, cut the entire bushing down and used the poly cup bushing from Ecklers. Waiting for her to settle a while after driving, will re-post after pics in a few days.
