Finished! Thanks so much to all for the help. After removing the lower A-arms completely from chassis and trying all suggestions in this thread, including flame, sledge hammering, stretching the M10 X 1.25 grade 8 bolt while cupping every stack of washers we cranked against, and then deforming a new grade 8 bolt with more sledge hammering trying to drive the tbar forward, with absolutely no results, we decided to leave the rear alone. We adjusted one tooth lower with the front spline alone. The result was a drop of approximately 32mm, or about 1.25 inches. With the IAP rear lowering springs in the back, the car looks GREAT. She looks even the racing breed that courses through her blood. Again thanks to Craig, JJ, and SamW for the assistance. Next stop is to an alignment shop.
