you have torsion bar suspension (no springs) - to lower it, just turn the torsion bar adjusting bolts.

thanks. i get it now. but if the height adjusting nut is loosened, it lowers the car...how much should it be lowered? i dont think the suspension up front was designed to be lowered too much. i was thinking of a 1 1/2" - 2" drop im worried about the nut coming out. what would happen if it did come out? how will it affect the suspension?

<---again...im a newbie at this.
