Lowering front end, can this be a DIY

[1973911s]

Is there a technical article on Pelican on how to lower the front end, or where to find the 10mm bolt?

I have heard this is really easy, would like to come down about half an inch?

It's really easy. The lowering bolt sticks out from the back of the A-arm facing down (may be at a slight angle) from the end of the torsion bar cap. You can probably see it between the spokes on the Fuchs. Get under there with a socket wrench (11 or 12 mm socket...can't remember right now) and loosen the bolt one complete turn on each side (As I recall, one turn is good for a 1/4" drop). Try to do this evenly from side-to-side. After you've done one turn on each side, bounce the car to get it to settle. I find the best way to do this is to stand on the door sill and bounce. One thing to keep in mind is that this will throw off your corner-balance.

BTW, your toe and camber will also change.

You can lower it yourself in about 30 seconds per side. If you go down a 1/2" definitely realign.

My car sits a little high in the rear. Would this be less noticable if I tightened the two bolts one turn on each side? I suppose that too will mess with the toe and camber on the car. If I reverted back the turn afterwards would everything be back as it were?

You might also be careful of fender clearance, see my post of a few minutes ago:
