lt1 swap near completion.. have suspension question
now that I am driving the car, which btw pulls Hard..
.. The front seem quite a bit more boucy. and seems to be sitting a bit higher.. I attribute this to the Al heads, .. I don't want the car any lower than stock since our roads aren't great. Any ideas? I assume others have this problem?

I think visuals would get you darn close. This happened to me after my swap. I think the car sat too long without a motor in it. After a few road test and a few days with the motor in it it settled back down.
Tis was with v-6 springs with 28" tires now it went back down to perfect..here is a pic with them up.

i am not in a big hurry to do this.. i did notice that it fixed itself a little bit, but is still high... looks like best answer is heat.. i'll wait for a few more test runs b4 i try that.. I can always get springs if i screw it up too much anyway.
