What is stock ride height?
What is stock ride height?
Looked in the GM service manual for my 91 TA but couldn't find any numbers.
What is the height (in inches) above the ground that the rockers of a stock 3rd gen car would be?

Re: What is stock ride height?
There doesn't seem to be any official number. I would guess that IROC's might have a lower stock height than V6 cars.
However, the rough guess seems to be about 28.5" from what I've seen.

Instead of spanking off about a bunch of ... spank-off, go here and see what they looked like rolling off the production lines.

Stock WS6 springs on my car and I'm at JUST under 28in in front from fender to ground and 28.5 on both rears.
Re: What is stock ride height?
I'm about 1" higher than the stock dimensions posted here, with NEW springs from Rock Auto. I'll give them a month or so to see if they settle in. Worst case is I cut 1/2 coil off.

I cut a full coil off the front and rear on my WS6 Trans am and it sits about 27" front and back, with the front tires 225/50 and rears 245/50
