Pro-kit w/ rear spacer removed..
I finally got around to placing another order for a Pro-Kit..
$275 shipped to Hawaii .. From TireRack Hawaii shipping charges..
Should be here Wed. or Thurs. If these are anything like the set that I had on my Firebird. The front sat alot lower than the rear. Are there any pictures out there of the Pro-Kit with the rear spacers removed also.
Would taking the rear spacer out make it look more even.

If you are using stock shocks, the rear will most likely be a tad bit lower than the front. If you replace them with new shocks though, you won't have that problem. They will sit just right!

I'm just changing the springs right now. My deCarbons only have 32K on them. I'm sure they'll hold up until Jan. when I get to San Diego and won't have to pay $100 extra just for shipping.
So I won't have a problem with the rear sitting higher than the front. What was up with the set on my Firebird. Front a helluva lot lower than the rear.

I'd kill for the back end of my car to sit up just a little higher . . .

I have a prokit on my car and the only complaint I have is I wish the front sat about a 1/4 inch lower than it does, even though its level now. I like a very tiny bit of rake.

Mike, By "spacer" do you mean upper spring insulator? My car has the insulators and when I measured from the bottom of the rocker pannel there was only a 5/32" difference ( rear being 5/32" higher ). BTW, I see you sold the catch can bracket, was there a problem with it?

The red of the catch can didn't match the color scheme under the hood. So I sold it and made my own stealthy catch can.
As far as the Pro-Kit goes, I guess I wait until it's on the car to see how it sits. I like for my car to be level. No rake to it.

My first setup up was the V6 Springs on my 94 Firebird.
Thanks for the responses.
