Re: Lowering Kits
The amount of effort required to do the front sucks. The kit is fairly cheap, but the amount of labor time is pretty high. On the rear you get adjustment, but the front is pretty much one shot.

Yes, the front kit is cheap. And getting 2" longer Grade 8 bolts for the rear is reasonably easy & cheap.
Changing the rear bolts is easy. Doing the front ... I've done one and I won't do another, ever. George |

Re: Lowering Kits
The only way I would do another front is if I had it all apart already if I had to do it again I wouldn't bother it is a pain in the a$$ just give up the weekend to do it thats all.

Re: Lowering Kits
Shane, my ZR1 got tapped in the parking lot this morning, it kissed and deformed the "trim molding" passenger side rear corner and some crazing on the bumper, any local SFO Bay Area recommendations for light bodywork repair? Are those trim pieces available?
