oddly it appear to sit almost the same, i say take out the rear isolators to get that back end to sit further down, then ull be good to go.

I can see a little bit of a drop, I like it just like it is. I dont think you need to drop it anymore.

My car sits similar, with the same kit. What effect would removing the rear isolators have besides lowering the rear? I want the car to have a more level stance. MdFormula350, your car always looks good. Love the ronals.

It sits about how mine does after I changed the stockers out for the Prokit. I didn't really see that much difference in the change in the back of my car, but the front is where I saw the most noticable difference in my car. Same seems to be for yours...

I think it looks good!!!

V6 Springs in the front are killer for weight transfer for good launches out of the hole. I've used Moroso trick front springs and stock style 6-banger springs in my Nova, and the 250-6 springs I must say worked a teeny bit better, but the Moroso springs were more streetable. They both had the same exact stance.

i can't really tell the difference between the before and after. maybe it'll settle a lil bit too after you get some more miles on it. Sweet formula btw....:hail:
