Welcome to the board. We'll get to that Valve adjust when all of this white stuff finds it's way down the drain.

What are your current height measurements from the ground to the middle of the wheel fender arc?? Lowering the car can open a very large can of worms (no jokes here guys). The first thing that becomes evident upon investigation is that bushings need to be replaced, this is especially true if the original ones are in place. It took me several days to replace all of the rear suspension bushings, rear torsion bars and lower the car.

If your bushings are ok, then the rear ride height can be adjusted slightly with the adjusters in the spring plates, assuming that the adjuster is in the middle of it's travel. Loosening the two nuts that hold the adjuster cam, and lock bolt requires about 200 lbs of torque.

I'll be at the tech session next Saturday at Dr. John's if you want to come by we can look it over.
