Going to need a little more info on this. Are you looking to see a nut on the threads of the adjusting bolt? If I "guess" as to what you are asking, the adjustment is made by turning the threaded protrusion that is on the end of the spring. There isn't any nut on the height adjustment.

Any chance of you taking a picture of what you're talking about and plopping it in this thread?

Happy Friday,


Elmer

Nutless. Repeat, nutless.

I know you already have your answer; I just wished I'd seen your question in time to be the first to reply with my answer above. It's a play on a funny line from an old Simpsons episode. Chief Wiggum is broadcasting an APB for someone, saying 'Suspect is hatless. Repeat, hatless.' I thought that was hilarious.

OK, break's over. Back to C7 stuff.

@Keefervette, when you read of someone 'lowering their Corvette on stock bolts', this is the bolt (one on each corner of the car) that they are referring too. You can adjust ride height, by about an inch, by turning the bolt in or out.
