Default Lowering my Z06!! Quick Question.

I purchased a kit to lower my rear end, came with new bolts and bushings............no problems.
The instructions said for me to TIGHTEN my front bolts until they bottom out to lower the front end. Followed the directions but I got it seems to have raised the front of the car. I then loosened the stock bolts and I got maybe half an inch lower than stock after that. I still have 2.5-3 inch gap??? Can someone point me in the right direction here???

Thanks,

J.R.

Not to be dick but this really isnt the right forum, this is external engine... you'd have much better luck if you asked in ether the handeling and brakeing forum or the corvette forum.
