1987 iroc lower control arm relocation brackets

hi guys after just lowering my iroc back on the ground after a full ground up restoration , i have a few questions , i stalled lower control arm relocation brackets on rear axle and used lakewood lower control arms and lowering springs i noticed that the car is sitting high in the back compared to the front , the car has engine and all drivetrain back in vehicle as well as hood , the rear of the car does not have the rear hatch , bumper or interior in car will the weight of the rear hatch lower the car some , as now car seems light in rear and very bouncy up and down with out much force to bounce car , i quess my question is will the relocation braclets raise the rear of car , i used the first set of hole closes to axle or will the rear hatch weight and other items bring car down in rear some , it is a bout 1 3/4 higher in rear than front thanks sheldon

no, relocation brackets shouldn't effect the height of the car. the hatch is heavy, all the stuff you mentioned will make a little difference in height.

The hatch is about half the weight on the rear axle.

Put it back and things will change ALOT.

Agree with everyone, hatch will make a big difference, gas does as well.

Do you have new shocks?
What springs did you use?
