Default lowering corvette c6

Hello,

Can I use the rear lower bolt stock to lower a "3/4 inch.

If so, owe I turn in the meaning of the hand of the watch (left-right) or the opposite.

Each car is different in how much they lower. 3/4" is more than I have ever seen. Turn the bolt counterclockwise (left) to lower.

I got about 5/8' out of my stock fronts but only 1/4' our of the rears. Had to take everything apart and trim the pad a bit to get 3/4 total travel.

Do a search and you'll find plenty of info. This website gives you an idea of what you would be up against if you trim the rears. I added a small dab of grease to prevent squeaking when I re-installed.

i had about the same amount of lowering by turning the front and back bolts. i ended up cutting one rib off the back bolt to get it the drop i was looking for.
