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!!
