Default T/A spring ??

Ive noticed on alot of TAs that they seem to sit lower in the rear than on the front. I dont know if its just an illusion but the car just seems to have a rearward rake. My 02 doesnt sit the same as my Z28, and they both have stock suspension. Has anyone ever dropped the front only, just so it sits level or maybe just a bit lower in the front.

I think it is the opposite. Mine sits much higher in the rear and has a frontward rake. I am still on stock height but probably going to be purchasing some Hotchkis springs to lower both front and rear about 1".

Default Mine squats

Mine seems to squat in the rear too, IMHO. In fact, my rh tailpipe is some what squashed from bottoming out...not sure why, but its on my list of things to do.

Does everyone with the TA's that sit lower in the rear have a bunch of heavy stereo equipment in the rear of the car?

After putting in my stereo my rear sat slightly lower in the rear but the Koni's on the lower perch fixed that.

Not here, I even took the stock cd changer that I never used out, along with the jack/spare etc.
Do TAs and WS6s use different springs?

YES, but I think the firmer springs (ws6/z28) may be a tad shorter than stock t/a, firebird, camaro...
