successful lowering...thanks guys! see pics
I guess I'm jaded...but there are few things in life that go without a hitch. With all the informative posts on this board and the help of the 101 book I successfully lowered my euro carrera 0.5 inch from euro height all by myself. It is at 25 inch front and 24.5 inch rear. I then got it corner balanced and aligned....and now the car is just unbelievable. Suits my needs just fine for rare track and mostly street use. Car also got brand new bilsteins sports all around. Rides a tad stiffer than before but very tolerable. It feels glued to the road. I haven't scraped anywhere (yet) but this is as low as I'll ever go. I think its a good compromise.
THANKS EVERYONE.
