Default Lowering.........Help !!!!!

Hi....I bought lowering Bolt Kit and used them on rear.. that worked to make back where I like it, however it appears it raised front a whisker...my question is: its there enough ajustment in factory front set up to drop the front a whisker?
Thanks, Doug

Yep - I don't think there is anybody that hasn't gotten the front as low as they want it with the factory bolts.

Default yes

on mine, I lowered the front all the way on stock bolts, if I lower the rear all the way on the aftermarket bolts the car sits even, no rake.

so I keep it around 2 or 3 turns from the end.

Look into the "Zip Corvettes" lowering kit- dropped mine 1 1/2" -2" evenly all the way around and the kit is designed to protect the aluminum A Arms.
