New pics....

....I just took these pics like 20 mins ago and about 3-4 hours ago i put new KYB Gr2 struts, KYB just -a-shocks and moog coil springs in the rear. and i think it sits too high, like to the point where i can fit more then my head under there and to reach at things. like if i wanted i could change my oil with out a jack.

is that how its supose to be like stock ride hight? the front end is rebuilt with new coil springs and then the things i just told ya's about. oh well all i know is i got plenty of room when i put my hooker supercomp long tubes on and i wont have any ground clearence problems.

I think you should drive it for a while, and tomorrow it might settle down more, ever time I do shocks it allways seems high at first for a while untill the "settle".

It should settle down a few inches once it gets some miles on the suspension. It looks a little high about where mine is at right now. Man 1986CamaroSC, your car looks kinda mean with that stance.

It looks like your car is at the factory stock ride height. Most thirdgens now with the original springs have settled so much that the ride height looks lowered.

yea i know what ya mean. when we rebuilt my front end and were puttin in new springs the driverside spring was broken at the bottem and the other side was fine. today when we put the new springs in its like we pulled out lowerin springs. didnt have to do much to get them out just a few tuggs and pushes and they were out.
