I'm using QA1's on all four
but I'm actually running the QA1 spring up from in these pictures
The height in the front is not much of a worry because I can adjust the height
but the rears just seem low to me.

Well, I can tell you that the rears will always look lower than the front because the front wheel well is taller than the rear. I had sportlines, and judging from the picture, mine was lower. Car looks good though! I guess the question would be, do YOU like it?

after everyone posts these pictures, i always want a lowering kit, but where i live, it will mean severe damage to my car... in Jersey, potholes, driveways, stuff on the road, speed bumps EVERYWHERE! and the worse Speed Humps, those things would kill my car, i almost scrape on those everytime, i go like 1mph over em

Sportlines I have a question for you regarding your Sportlines......I am thinking about trading someone sportlines for my prokit, but i have SLP LT's on my SS, and wanted to know exactly HOW bad it would be driving it with Sportlines. DO you have LT's on yours and how BAD is it clearance wise? TIA

I don't know I have the pro kit and I don't think mine is that low? Maybe its the shocks? You can put a rubber hose on the end of the rear spring to give you a little hieght. Thats what I'm going to do when I do my bilsteins after I finish my current project...

JonSS - Thanks! I think you've complimented me once before, but its been a while since I've been able to post some new picture's of the car. Hope to do a really nice promotional photo-shoot in downtown chicago once its nice out here. (Simiar to what GM High-tech did to tom's speed inc camaro).
No Juice - The rear seems to have a bigger gap then mine does. Since the picture's are quite small its hard to see. I'll measure the gap from the top of my tire to the fender to give you an idea of how mine sits compared to yours. I'll attach a side pic for you to look at for now.
CODE4LS1 - I do have pacesetter LT's on my car. It isn't to bad as long as you watch the road and be careful over bumps. I've had them on since NOV and have only scrapped the clamps once. The ORY is as low as the front air dam which is about 3inches from the ground. I know the SLP LT's sit really low and I don't think I'd recommend sportlines with that type of header.

MadIce,
I measured last night. I put a ruler flat on the tread of the rear tires and measured the height to outside edge of the fender and I had about 5/8 of an inch.
I don't know if it just looks like a bigger gap than your's because the wheels are tucked in so far or what?
18's with a 35 series tire is the same outside diameter as a 17" with 40 series Right?

I just measured my back the same way you did and mine comes to be 1/2 a inch gap and this is with my 18's on. I do notice that when I put my stock 16's on that the ride height overall drops about 1/2 a inch because of the softer and smaller tire. Yours wheels being tucked in more shouldn't really change anything.
