Thanks. The red Camaro appears to have a slight rake, while the Silver T/A appears level. Which will mine be, raked or level, with these springs?

IMO, the red camaro doesn't look lowered at all.

I got my rear stranos on today along with the koni shocks and strano rear sway bar, I have more clearance now than with the stock springs even though I haven't centered the axle yet.

Reason being is that, the point that tends to rub is like 6" forward of the bump stop where the fender curves out, but since the tire is higher in the wheel well the curve of the tire has moved it away from that point. It might be different on a camaro but this has been the case on all my firebirds.
