tired of rear end looking so high

im sure everyone here has noticed, but our third gen camaro's all appear to be pretty high in the back end. personally i hate seeing so much of the tire in the back, they always look too skinny and tall (even with my 275-60-15). i was wondering, the mustang gt's back in 88 and on all had the back end that looked no more then a soda can off of the ground, is there any body kit that they make for the camaro's that will fix this problem? if i lower it the front end is already rediculously low as it is, so i dont really wanna go more then a 1.5 drop. thanks

I like that high raised end, makes it more like a ROCKET blasting down the pavement, gives it the feel of a real drag machine. maybe thats just me.

I have heard of people putting lower springs just on the rear.not sure if its the right thing to do.I would also like the rear to be lower on my iroc.no wheel well shows on the front and alot on the rear.

I hate having the rake. If I can, when I lower my car I am going to lower it a tiny bit more in the rear

Mine's so level you could sight off of it. That's exactly the look I wanted, too.

But I imagine it must look funny when accelerating (the back end probably "sits down" a bit). I'm probably going to lower the front a little more someday if I can.

so nobody knows of any body kit that will change the look from behind?
