Not sure if this helps but... I have a Formula that does not sit low in the rear. I just put some GR-2 shocks in the rear which definitely lifted it 1/2 inch -- it was sagging abit previously (in fact the old shocks when tested, would no longer uncompress).
My last Formula (an '88) was starting to sag in the rear so I put a set of KYB gas in and this lifted it abit. Back in the late '80s and early '90s the rears were known for sagging on f-bodies. For some reason it was most pronounced on IROCs as I remember it.

I just put KYB GR2's on all 4 corners with new spring spacers. Now that the engine is back in, the ride height is perfect. When I first got the car it sat really low in the rear. I got the new style spring spacers from GM and I think that's what fixed it.
