Lowering C6

I turned the stock lowering bolts in rear counterclockwise and it actually raised the rear end not lower. What is right way to lower?

Call me crazy, but why not try the opposite way?

Did you see the pads at the bottom of the bolts getting closer to the spring? Also even after you crank those bolts to the max, the car won't settle down until you drive it a few miles.

You need to drive it around, but counter clockwise is the correct way.

to lower, screw the bolts in so that the pad side gets shorter to lower your car......

When you lift the car off the ground the car with sit higher when you put it back on the ground. Go for a spin and the car will settle down.

Counterclockwise is correct, spring needs to settle after lifting, thanks.
