Default Help me get my car to sit right!

So here's the most recent picture of my Camaro. Help me get this thing sitting pretty and away from it's 4x4 status!
Open to any suggestions as I am an idiot when it comes to suspension! Tires are 295/35/18 in the rear and 275/40/17 up front

What do you do with the car?

That determines the recommendation. You can go from Strano/BMR/Koni to cut stock springs with Bilstines.

Koni with stock springs on lower perch and heater hose mod would probably be best for a daily driver/strip car

Really? By lower perch do you mean the stock springs cut?

No, Koni shocks have a lower perch for the spring to sit on which makes it about 5/8 to 3/4 in lower than stock with stock springs unmodified. The rear hose mod should get it to 1/2 lower in back

I was actually looking at doing this setup. Bilsteins all around except strano springs. And front only? Wouldn't that **** up your ABS? Unless you had it deleted lol.
