I may be the minority here, but I prefer stock height. Unless the wheels are just right and the height is just right, I hate the way lowered 4th gens look.

I hate stock ride height hence why I went with the Strano/Koni setup. I would not consider that slammed though.

Well I can. I too have the strano/koni setup and its just gotten to be too low. I was going to go back to stock springs but now Ive got strage shocks front and back!

I dont know if your going for the sporty corner carver look I guess lowered is where its at. Me-not so much. Form follows function and stock height works fine for drag.

Best thing to do is get some QA1's so you can set it where you want! run some BMR springs in rear Or stock ones with hose mod. I had eibach pro kit springs and they sucked! I felt ever little spot in the road. They also sagged in the rear so i had to do the hose mod and keep the rubber isolator to make it look right. Im am getting QA1's up front soon.

my personal opinon is that i think the camaro's look better lowered,

but i think the forumla's and WS6's look great with stock ride height, although they do look good lowered ~1" as well.

stock ride height for me, i had a lowered stang and couldnt go anywhere. i could hardly get into my college without scraping on something.

ride comfort doesnt matter to me, i have poly/rod end suspension everywhere, but she sure sticks to the ground.

Is it just me or does that car have the heater hose mod in the rear? Seems to me that its a bit too low in the rear to be stranos?

I prefer the stock height or damn close to it. I think muscle cars just look better this way. Not 2 say some slammed cars dont look great, I just dont think they were meant to look that way.

mine's slammed... came that way. :'(
I hate it.
it looks awful.
it rides awful.
it has awful clearance.
i need to replace my exhaust, my driveshaft is unbalanced and probably bent... my differential cover isn't flat... takes a lot of copperRTV to keep it from leaking...

it's terrible... don't do it. I think I'm looking into an Eibach prokit.

oh, AND I can't turn my wheels all the way or they rub the wheel wells... which have their screws popping out because of that.
DON'T TUCK TIRES!!! all I can say... I warned you...
