Default Newb question - ride height

My GS was purchased a few months ago. I believe it has been lowered. Here in south east PA the roads are horrible and I hit bottom a lot.

My question is, to raise car to stock height do bolts get turned in or out of housing? Going to take a look tonight with a friend.

Thanks in advance

Turn the top of the screw at each of the four corners clockwise to increase the ride height. It's pretty intuitive once you see it.

It probably needs an alignment regardless...

Anyone have the measurements and where to measure to confirm the car is back at stock ride height?

There is a range of at least 1"-2", I measured both mine and my friends bone stock original owner 13 GSs and there was a noticeable difference in ride height.



Front, 13 GS 6MN

Good idea regardless of adjustment. these cars have a tendency to wear the inside of the front tires and have been known to come from the assembly plant with suspect alinement.
