I have recently noticed that my front end sits 1 inch higher then my rear. Idk if it is because I got a fiberglass hood or what but I want to try to raise my rear by about 2inches. What are some easy ways to do this? Im thinking maybe my springs are going bad. but the car only has 120k miles on it....Where can i find a good price on some taller springs that will raise my rear end a couple inches? or do think itd be better to get air shocks to raise it up?

 

Moog p/n 5665 will jack the rear up considerably. You also might consider fourthgen spring isolators.

I used Gabriels High Jackers on my 86 camaro to raise it up b/c of my tires are to wide and the fender was cutting them. Those are 60 bucks and not bad price for them either. Comes with the whole kit you need. look on jcwhitney. and put it Gabriels High Jackers. Or go to ur local car parts store and they should have some for you as well. Easy minor modification depending where you want to put your air line at. I drilled 2 small holes in the corner of the trunk and ran both of my air lines to the carparment on the driverside and it is a T filler. So it fills both up at the same time. Never had any problems with them. And there adjustable mind you. You get your 2 inches very easy and more

Pic for you to see. Mind you car is on the sidewalk why it looks even but it actually sits lower in the front.

 

in the trunk carparment :P. to clarify what i meant.

 

I'd go this route. They will raise the rear end up about an inch. I did this to get my stance right a few years ago. I got them from the dealership. They'll ask you for a specific year to look up the p/n. I picked a random year and said '98. They fit perfectly and made the car's stance appear much better.

 

Instead of making it look like a rock crawler, why not lower the front...?

 

it's a camaro, not a jeep lower the front 1"

 

Im not trying to turn my car into "a rockcrawler" my car is very low in the front (7 inches from the ground) so i figure if i have 7 in the front and 9 in the back itd look good. Plus Im running dual 2.5" exhaust and need the clearance for my mufflers.....thanx for the input guys ill def look into this.

 

also.....i looked up the moog springs thee look good but how much taller will it make my car? i really dont want it too tall.i only need about 2 inches

 

I went ahead and go the moog 5665. I hope it raises my car up a bit. Ill keep u guys posted. Im also going to get 4th gen isolators.or I may just get a 1" spacer for the rear coils.

 

I suggest that you try the Moogs first--you may find that they'll jack the car up high enough to satisfy you. IIRC, they bumped my car up well over an inch. (I hated the look so badly that I eventually cut 3/4's of a coil and used radiator hose instead of the OE insulator.)

I got the moog 5665s turns out the original owner of my car cut my rear springs down to owner the car. it rides perfectly now. and the 2.5inch dual exhaust clears all railroads/speed bumps =]

 

did you have to modify the Gabriel Hi Jackers to get them to fit or did they bolt right on?

 

No I didn't have to at all. There set up to fit the car as manufacture fit. No modification needed. Just when you have the air lines I put mine in the trunk. So some drilling was necessary. But go to your local autozone or O reiley's and ask for Gabriel High Jackers for rear shocks on the camaro. It works great. Promise ya.

 

The "T" fitting that fills both Gabriel shocks at the same time may work but its letting the air shift from one shock to the other during a turn. Especially during a hard turn. Its best to run the lines independent of each other.

 

did you keep the stock springs in? or did you put in aftermarket springs?

 

Yes I left the stock springs in the camaro did no modifications on any suspension but made the shocks air. Now when you say when you turn it shifts the air from one shock to another is wrong. I never had that problem. Do it both on the T for the reason it airs them up evenly. So you don't have to run them uneven or try to get the same pressure in both. I road rode this with my camaro for 3 years no problems. as you see in my picture my tires didnt' clear the fenders reason i did this. So if your theory of this i turn sharp i would of gotten it ripping through my tires which didn't happen. So don't think to much into it they are good usage air shocks. Just my opinion on this matter since I used them and had no problems.

 

I was at Johny Franklin's Muffler shop when one of the technicians mentioned it to me. He happened to have the parts to run them independently and gave them to me free of charge. He may have been mistaken .
