Are lowering bolts wider at spring?
I rotated mine to lower the car, having the bolts get higher, except when it moved up the threads were twice as wide there. Assume they're wider in the spring or ?
Also, what causes it to cease turning when at its limit... I don't see any 'stops' ?

It hits the limit when it bottoms out against the suspension. It can't turn any further. That rubber washer at the bottom stops it.Attachment 48307030
ow, I need to know why my bolts have double sized thread rising thru the spring when I lower it ???
