Stock ride Height #s? Hey guys, do any of you know off-hand what the ride height should be on a stock 99 Trans am? I mean measured at the top of the wheel opening?
Reason I'm asking is that I currently have Eibach "John Ames" springs installed (advertised -2" drop, though I'm sure its probably much lower), but I have a set of G2 supersprings sitting in the house waiting to be installed. I'm wondering if I'll gain any ride height (needed badly due to duals) by installing them. If I can figure out what the stock height #s are I can find out how low I really am in comparison right now.
BTW, I am running Bilstein HD shocks/struts at this time.
Thx

For reference, what is your measured height now? Measure from the ground to the top of the wheelwell, back and front.

I have yet to find anyone that has the stock ride height numbers, but I'm sure somebody has them!
I think one of the best stickys would be to post the stock ride height, and then everyone post their spring/shock combo along with their measured ride height. I think that would be pf tremendous help for folks to make decisions on what springs to buy.

i don't know if this helps you now, but i'm researching on springs/ shocks for my 01' hawk. my right rear is down to 26.5", the other three corners are at 27.5", and i too bottom out quite a bit now on that corner. measurements are from lip to floor.
