Re: Too tall for a firebird?

You are definitely too tall for a car with t-tops. I'm just over 6'2" with a 34" inseam, and I am riding on Fiero seat brackets (which lower the seats 1.5" and I still don't have enough headroom on...

Re: AJE power rack and coil over kit

The name doesn't come up often, I've not heard anything horrible about them in general. Fitment/quality seems fine. At least their product seems to be better than the awful website pictures.

Re: larger sway bars?

Installing the sway bar backwards shouldn't affect the height unless it is physically binding up on something. My guess is your shocks will settle after you drive it a bit.

They are not necessary in general. I don't believe any of the aftermarket style strut mounts are even compatible with any boots from any strut vendors.

All the reproduction tanks are too small. 14 gallons is smaller than many of the original tanks. I would see if you could get at least 16 gallons in your design.
