I took the bolts all the way out, cut the bushing as much as possible too

only way to go lower is to remove the bolts all toghether

camber on the front is usually real bad, especially on the Z's, about 10k before the inner tread is gone

Thanks everyone. The only bad spot for me is my driveway but I can go up adn down kind of sideways and it wont drag.


the car just rolled 6000 miles. so I don't see another 10k on it for a looooooooooong time Either way I'll have the camber checked out this weekend.

Looking good! I have mine lowered about 2.5"... Got rid of the front dam also, only after it had pretty much gotten rid of itself. Doesnt affect engines temps as far as I can tell, even in houston traffic.
