yeah my front was higher than the back, the back was REALLY low on my car so I did a heater hose mod and kept the isolaters to and got 1/4 inch back out of the back, my car sits perfect now.

My car sat like that a lil' bit when I installed them. After a year or so the fronts settled down.

I think the front just appears to be higher because of the ground. Looks angled down.

Typically when you have garage doors the road in front slopes away from them to drain water. With the car on the angle and the solid axle you will get what look to be variations in ride height front to back/side to side as the axle pivots under the body. This is one of those things that makes solid axles "special".

FWIW, I think it looks great, and appreciate CamaroSS27 for taking the time to take and post the pics!!!

It does. Great color. Side molding delete looks clean. Just wish I knew what size those front tires were so I can order them! I love the clean sidewalls too.

Very nice car. Can I ask what Shocks you had before? I bought my car with ~ 15k mile Bilstien HD's and I don't find them that great.
