Maybe this is why, your 35 series tire on a 275 might have smaller aspect ratio
This is normal when running a stagger and want to keep a similar wheel rpm to stock. And give the springs a chance to settle a little.

The tire size could be your problem. They are bigger diameter in the rear:
275/35-18 d=25.58
295/35-18 d=26.13
Plus the extra weight in the trunk isn't helping.
My .02 cents. GL buddy!

You guys, most f-body people are running those tires sizes with 18" wheels. It's not the tires at all.
IMO, it's weird that you have a height issue, especially with the added weight of the blower up front. I'd just drive it around a good bit, do like ssam98 said hit some hard brakes and a few bumps. I think it'll settle more. Sometimes alignments will help as well.
Either way looks great man.

Sounds like it should solve your issue!

Here's a pic of mine with the Koni/Strano setup, camera isnt that great lol the rear sits lower then the front. Ive put atleast 2000 miles or more on it since the install. So settling isnt the issue for me lol For now, ive just left it alone till i do more front suspension mods.

I've got this problem with Eibach/stock shocks and nothing in the trunk with the car sitting a notcible amount lower in the rear than the front. Some people that knows these cars somtime tell me that I need to lower the front to match the rear but when they see the front springs, they wonder whats going on. Maybe I need different shocks but I'm worried about other stuff first though.
