Default Better or worse?

So I got tired of killing my tires over every bump etc so took out my prokit rear springs and put the stocks back in with the heater hose mod. I'm not sure if I like the outcome or not, but I havent killed my true duals or killed my tires yet. What do you think?

before


after




def raked instead of almost lower in the back like it was before

It's not too bad, probably will be cheaper in the long run. If worse comes to worse you can put them back on later.

Are you DD'ing this car with the slicks/skinny's?

I think it looks better. I like the TAs to sit pretty much even but Camaros look sweet with the back a bit higher.I bet it rides a hell of alot better, I know mine did when I took my prokit out and put stranos in.
