Stock bolts
Mods, sorry if this is the wrong section but this is where I've been reading this.
"The car has been lowered on stock bolts."
I would really like to know what this means.
I would also like to know just how invasive this lowering with the stock bolts is and if returning it to stock is as good as having never done it to begin with.
Thank you

Just be sure of the wheel alignment is correct. Some may diy home lowering and not take the expenses to have the car alignment checked.
When car is lowered or raised this should be checked because it will change.
Usually about $200-$300 for adjusting the bolts and getting an alignment.
All it takes is a jack to left the car up and another jack to take tension off the composite leaf spring so the bolt may be turned.
I would take it to a shop that has done this before unless you are a diy type and by the question you asked I think you are not in this area.

The "lowering bolts" you are talking about were not designed so that the car could be lowered for appearances. They are designed for corner balancing the car for serious racers.
The problem with returning the bolts to the stock position is that you don't know the "stock" position. For the bolts to be returned to the original position will require an alignment shop with a corner balancing setup. Look for a couple of hundred dollars to an alignment shop to corner balance then align the car correctly after it has been "lowered on the stock bolts".
