thats far from a 4x4 stance and is a good height for a 3rd gen, much lower and you bottom out on everything, scrape going into driveways, ect. It looks fine.

Re: New stance

Looks awesome. A little PDR should fix that fender although that little dent right on the curve might be a little tough. Does removing the rubber spring insulator change the height quiet a bit? I gotta lower my front end a little.

Re: New stance

It handled great just the ride was like a brick!!!!!!!!!! and with the new long tubes and the y-pipe I was scraping coming in to the garage and everything else, couldn't open the door on the trailer and was hard to get on it also. and that was a pain, I am getting to old for that kind of ride and it still handles good so I am happy with it. And with it back to factory Height it will help wit hthe traction issues I was having, seeing it is a T56 car.

Re: New stance

Convertible springs are the stiffest........and it looks right. I glad somebody else realizes the dumped in the weeds look is inpractical especially with LT headers.

Re: New stance

So whens the next car crushing event with your monster camaro...lol j/k. I wondering what if your rims & tires make it sit higher than stock. Because my car sits at stock height & I still manage to scrape the bottom.

Re: New stance

my rims and tires are actually the same hight as the factory 16's I had on it before, that this is just after they were installed they have settled some and look great..... I have a custom ypipe ,and it is lower then factory y but any ways I had to didnt have a choice if I didnt want to crush it.
