Stock Height?
Hey everyone.
I have been in the process of re-building my chassis for the past month.
Alston sfc, all new steering components w/ Edlebrock Tie rod sleeves, swapped stock sway bars to 36mm front & 24mm rear, new poly bushings all around, Wonderbar, and have a quick ratio steering box from an Iroc not yet installed!
I want to replace the Panhard bar & Lca's next. How can you tell if the car has been lowered? I don't think it has been, as it carried all stock components ( panhard bar)
I do not want to lower it! As i beleive these baby's sit low enough allready IMO!
Thanks All, Ron

Are there factory tags on your springs like BZX, etc? What color are the springs that you have?
Even if your springs are stock you may have a lowered suspension because the springs are worn.
How much of a gap do you have from the tire to the wheel lip? On the later model F-bodys it should be about two finger widths.
