Default Lowering Front End

I lowered the front of my 95 ZR-1 a few years ago. I've decided it's too low. I cut the rubber on top of the Mono leaf spring. I can't remember how much I cut off. I'm hoping some one can tell me the thickness of the factory rubber that is on a stock spring.

Thanks for any help.

If no one has the info, I can go and measure the spring in the garage. How low is yours now? Is it grounding a lot? I was just looking to trim mine back before installing the springs, so your input would be appreciated.

Btw, any pics?

My car is only 2 1/4 inches from the road up to the brackets below the radiator that are there to keep you from bottoming out the frame. Too Low.

Agreed. That is too low!

Someone else recommended recently hacking off the rubber spacers, and they had better results then you did. I'll have to dig that up.
