Need suspension measurements form LT1 guys!
Well I'm wanting to change the stance of my car again. I know there is a suspension section but who knows how many guys that go there still have an LT1 to measure for me. I really only want LT1 guys to reply here since LS guys have an aluminum block and I'm sure it is much lighter.
So like I said I want to change my car's stance so I need height measurements here. I need measurements of stock and lowered cars on all 4 corners. Please measure on level ground and measure from the ground to the peak of the wheel well. Right now I have the Prokit on Revalved Bilsteins and it is just too low for me in my town! Plus I do alot of drag racing so being lowered isn't the best option but I like the look. Then again this is my daily driver so no drag shocks and springs for me! The plan for now is to get stock springs and do the "hose mod" to them for the rear and then either keep the Prokit up front or switch to BMR which is only a 1" drop. This is why I want everyones measurements so I can compare where I am to where I'd like to be. Thanks
Here is the info I need:
1. Height on all 4 corners, please label them.
2. Wheel and tire size
3. Brand of shocks
4. Brand of springs
5. Mileage on springs/shocks
6. Weight if possible

28.5" LR
15x10 Bogart D10's in back (325/50/15 MT Drag Radials) 28" OD
15x4 Bogart D10's in front (26x4.5 ET Fronts) believe they are 27" OD
QA1 shocks up front
QA1 shocks out back
QA1 springs up front
stock Z28 springs in back
less than 200 miles on shocks/springs/wheels/etc

and the different heights in the front and back is due to my car was professionally scaled and 4 cornered. We had to raise the LF to get the weight where we wanted it on the RR...
