8 cent lowering solution: Has anyone done a write-up?

I'm looking for pictures of the location of the sensors and maybe for information on the exact size of washers to use.

Thank you,

Oliver

There has been many threads with pictures and procedures on how to butcher, I mean drill your car..... Try using the search feature....

Personally, I'd be looking to the dealer to do this and have them re-align the cars front end after their done.

It has been covered and believe me, it is very easy to do. I did it myself and it only took a few hours one Sunday (really only about 15 minutes but I had the wrong tool). I have since returned my car to stock and after having had it lowered for about 6 months I had to have the rear shocks (?) replaced, luckily, under warranty. I love the look and am thinking about lowering it again but if I do I will only go about an inch all around as opposed to the two inches I did the first time.
