Default Lowered C7

Well... I finally took the time to lower my car yesterday, noticed after I finished the differential between the LF and RF is about 1/4". It dropped both sides roughly an inch but it is slightly higher on the passenger side. Anyone else experience this much of a difference between the respective sides after lowering their cars?

yes, mine had a 1/4 inch difference too but after driving it a couple weeks it settled down to about even. will do the fine tuning on the ride height to get it even the next time I am working on the car. So give it time before trying to get it perfect or you will waste some effort.

Lowered mine on the stock bolts after about 1200 mi.
The fronts both took 7 full turns on both sides before they topped out . Backs took 3. The top of the left front wheel arch is 7/16 higher then the right after 5500 mi. The backs are about the same.
