So on my z28 originally had dropped springs in it then one day I went to the junkyard and took off some taught to believe stock springs off another third gen then when I through them on to my z28, this is how my ride looks....anyone know why this happened??I am also planning on buying some stock replacement springs anyone got any good ones in mind my budget is $100... So in other words the front is higher than the back....thanks!

Did you index the front springs? Have you driven the car? You might consider Moog replacement springs.

The rear looks about normal for stock. The front looks high, so I'd first suggest the same as James- check the index of the springs (Is the end of the spring between the little holes in the A-arm?).

 

ye they are but im provably gonna end up buying some replacement springs for the front....

 

The front looks about right for stock; the rear is sagging BAD.

The fact that the wheels and tires are about right for a Kia Forté, instead of a Z28, are fooling your eye.

Put the right size of those on it, the problem will magically appear to move.

 

really???because I measured the height with my buddy car and his car was about 1-1.5 lower than my front...and he has stock front springs as well......Would you recomend just purchasing all 4 new springs?

 

I'm a probably end up buying the eibach pro kit

His might just be sagging worse than yours. They haven't all sagged the same amount. But any car with the original springs, is sitting MUCH lower than it did when it was built.

Look though these pics; this is what these cars looked like new. THIS is "stock", not what condition some 25 - 30 yr old one with a half-million miles on it is in.

I thought I had put something in my response about wheel/tire size. I guess I only thought it and didn't type it.

Those tires on the front appear to be a smaller size. After looking a few times, I think Sofa is right- there's a bit of illusion there.
