Default Lowering a 95?

Is it hard? I know C5's can be done with simple tools, but i have the feeling that C4's are a little differnt.

So.. can anyone give me a clue? :lol: :D :cool:

You have to remove the exhaust (cats back if stock), the spring from the bolts that hold it to the knuckle, and the bolts themselves (don't forget new urethane bushings and cotter pins along with the new bolts). Hope this helps... :)

Why do you have to remove the exhaust? I lowered my 95 front and rear and never removed my exhaust. :confused:

To do the front you'll have to remove the spring and change the pads from the top that contacts the frame. I call them poly lowering wedges that you have to glue in the place of the old ones. :)
