DIY - Lowering your C5
Front:
Lowering a C5 is very simple especially if you have access to a lift. I had my Vette mechanic (Vettemaster) lower Sherylann's Z06.
You need to ease the tension on the front spring by using a jack.
Use a 10 mm socket and turn the bolt fully counterclockwise, then back off 1/4 turn.
Rear:
Locate rear adjusting bolt. Use a 13/16" wrench on the top nut and a 18 mm wrench on the bottom.
Top view:
Bottom view:
Turn lower bolt until 2 threads remain showing on the top.
That's it...its best if you have your alignment checked after about 1 week of driving. Be sure to take a banner picture of the mechanic!!
