ZR-1 Net Registry Forums - View Single Post - Minor rear hight adjustment how to please?

The ride height is measured at the frame (4 points) as outlined in the service manual. The body reference points are not all that accurate. Most cars will show differences. If you're making changes in the rear keep in mind that front spring tension is also affecting rear height. The front, however, has no easy adjustments. So, you may be compensating in the rear for some issue on the front.

The stock rear spring bolts have a cotter pin and it is not long enough for adjustment. Aftermarket bolts are longer and have special nuts to not back out.

Unless you had an accident I wouldn't worry about it.
