umm ok...here is a pic of mine...springs have been on for awhile (i can't remember) maybe the rear's were put up front

edit: btw the rear fender's are rolled and they still touch the tires on occasion (i think)...which leaves marks on the tires...they aren't noticable unless you are really close and i haven't really decided if they are from the tire or from the fender lip...anyhow i have zr1's 17X11 w/36.5mm offset they have 315/35/17's of course
the drop is even except maybe a 1/2" lower in the front

No I am also running Koni Double Adjustable shocks, so the shocks are not the flaw . . .

I could also remove the bumpstop, but why? All that will do is increase the amount the tires scrape the wheel wells.

Oh and forget hauling anything or anyone around. Search in the Handling forum.

Both my cars have Eibach springs and I want to get rid of them all . . . Honestly I'd look into DMS or Hotchkis . . . or better yet take advantage of the advice Sam Strano provides.

Now supposedly the LT1, has different Eibach spring rates and they are supposedly better, but I cant honestly say.
not the lt1 springs
