lowering question

Quick question....does anyone know how far you will lower the front end with one full turn of the adjuster? I want to try something and have the ability to put it back to the starting point.
Thanks as always...

Hi:
Guys...take this to the bank:

I revolution causes a 1/4" height change. As you're on your back looking up ( "worm's eye" view)....clockwise turn raises car...ccw lowers car.

Careful...lowering increases toe-OUT. Small adjustments in height won't make a big difference ( say...1/4 to 1/2" height change)...but if you're going for 1" height change or more...check toe.

What and where

Does anyone have a picture of the adjuster? Can I simply jack up the car and turn it CCW two revoltions to lower the front of my car .5 inch? Right now my car sits 26" front and 25.5 rear. I just wanted to even the car out.

The front wheel well of an automobile is larger than the rear well. This is because the front wheels move around a lot more. So, your car will still have a 'nose down' attitude if your front fender lip is a half-inch higher than the rear. A half-inch difference is the popular figure.

I post a pic in a thread before with nearly the same question, here it is: adjustment of torision bars, is this the right way?
