Default SS Springs

I've noticed that SS's and WS6's have a little meaner stance than the Z28's, T/A's, Formulas, etc. Is it because they have different springs and just sit a little lower, or what? I was thinking about buying some SS springs so I could have a little more of an agressive stance, like they do. And I was just wanting to know if they really are lower.

To my knowledge, all 98-02 V8 springs are the same.

There is no height difference between SS/WS6 springs Z28/Formula springs, even with the 1LE springs. Here's a useful link: http://www.angelfire.com/my/fastcar/suspension.html.

The difference you're seeing is the bigger wheels.

lol. Thanks guys. Looks like I'll save myself some money and just end up buying some Eibach springs or something else a little later then.
