Default Coding for lowering rear

Hey guys. I live up in Montana and it seems no one around here likes European cars, so getting stuff done to my car is near impossible. I am looking for a way to lower the rear myself, but I don't really know how to go about it or if its even possible. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hey,

I did it this way:

4pc - McMaster-Carr
2pc - McMaster-Carr

If you want to block linkages in place buy fully threaded rods and this:

1 pack - McMaster-Carr

I replaced the oem ones with my diy, shorter about 1/2" and i got what i wanted... you can play with adjustment.



I hope this will help.
