Do Camaros and Firebirds have different ride heights?
My 99 WS6 and my girlfriend's 02 Z28. Look at the side mirrors and mine seems to be about and inch higher than hers. Is this normal? Am I too high or is hers too low? Neither one of us have aftermarket springs that we know of. Could hers be lowered and we don't know about it?

I always thought stock for stock that the pontiac sat a tad lower than the chevy because of more weight. Measure from the highest point on the fenders to the ground and let us know what you get.

I have some info on my thread:
Stock Shock and Suspension Travel Specs
To summarize, the LS1 camaro and firebird do have the same ride heights. The rear tubs are the same so the fender lip heights are comparable. The front fender lips are a bit higher on the camaro, about an inch I think. Don't go by the mirrors.
If you want, you can measure the the ride height from the bottom of the 2 cars to the ground. Find a common bolt to measure from and then compare the fender lip heights.

shesssh, you have both cars in the same garage. bust out a tape measure and do some measuring.
fender height? k member height? axle height?
my excuse is they aren't in the same garage.
