Default Lowering the stock front on my c5?????

This is probably a stupid question for those of you who have done it, but how do u lower the front end of the car. I bought the rear lowering kit from rk sport and installed that. Now I just cant lower the front. A tech from rk sport had told me the bolt on the front spring is the same size as the rear, however the only bolt i can see has a 10mm head on it. Can someone please tell me if this is the right bolt and if so which way i turn it(clockwise/counterclockwise). Thanx

Check out the lowering info on the Tech Tips section of the forum. Lowering it is easy. :)

the 10m hex head is the one you want.. I do not recommend taking out the bushing.. thats only my lame opinion.. just back the bolt out COUNTER CLOCKWISE.. the bolt should rise up almost into the lower part of the shock.. Turn it untill it cannot go any more.. thats all I did for my cars,, good luck :seeya
