lowering rear with washers
Has anyone been able to lower the rear by adding washers to the sensor bolts? I have heard this can be done as an alternative to drilling out and extending the current holes. From what I've gathered, only one of the bolts should be adjusted. Which is the correct bolt?

if you already know where the sensor (in middle of the car and right b4 the differential housing) but you have to drill BOTH of the bolts not just one, and move them about 2-7mm depent how low you wanna be and direction is toward the back of the car or mufflers watever. its VERY easy to do if you use the right tool, the best tool is dremel ( correct me if i spell it wrong).
i did it with my car and i really enjoy the look after, im still waitin for posting pics system got back so i can post my car pixs to share with your guys.

You can put a spacer between the sensor and the mount. This will lower the rear end. I used a spacer kit from Altered Atmosphere in MD. It is an all alluminum corosion resitent spacer kit machined to fit the sensors and evenly lower the car about an inch all around.
I put the Renntech module on now because of much wider and larger wheel/tires on the car but I still have the kit if anyone is isn't in buying it. It was $250 new.
