You heard me folks. If you've got 17" wheels or larger and are still at stock ride height, please post a picture. Those with an SS or Firehawk that have the SLP/Bilstein suspension, you dont count. Going to have to go back to my stock stuff for clearance and want to see what I'm in for. Pro Kit is too low, and until I can sell this stuff and get the money for some Konis up front to lower the car an inch up front and remove the rear isolator to lower the rear, I'm going to be in 4x4 mode again.

no pic but i have 17 inch ZR1's on my car with 275 tires. The tire diameter is the same as my stock 16's with 245's or whatever was one there. Same ride height.

Cut one coil out of the stock front spring, use a cutoff wheel instead of a torch. And remove the isolator in the rear.

02 ws6 did you have your drivers side fender replaced? i noticed the missing molding piece on that side.. mine was replaced an they forgot that piece too.

17''.. 275/40

Yep, thats what happened. Getting that piece painted would be more trouble than it botheres me to just leave it off. It doesnt really bother me until someone like you notices then I feel incomplete

I really like the moldings too, but I guess Ive got a head start with !side molding.

Peep the sig if you'd like to see the full size let me know.

yeah me too.. although it does look at little cleaner off on that part.. maybe il just do the other side the same way?

Keep 'em coming guys. Eventually I'm going to put Konis on the drop the front an inch and remove the rear isolator, but I need more pics to let me know if I need to do it ASAP or if I can deal with stock height. After being very low for the last three years its going to be tough to go back.

is it me or do LS1's seem to have alot of gap in between the tires and the wheel well and LT1's really dont have nearly that much? My car isnt lowered but the ride height is absolutely perfect.

Here's some pics from the day I got the car and put the Snypers off my old car on it...

Not the best view but here's how my car used to look when it was stock height.

Giving another bump. Some cars I see like Sebastian's, ritz's, and '02 WS6's and think I can deal with stock ride height. Then some cars (no offense guys) like Shane's old setup, and 00firebird's setup make me think the front is just a little too high and the back is way too high. More pics welcomed.

Here's some pics of mine. 17x9's with 275/40/17's. My next mod is to lower it about an inch or so.

Shane

None taken.

I don't know why, but it sure seems different from car to car. I'd be curious to see if it's just perception, or if there really is a height difference on them... :shrug:

It's hard to tell. I've seen a lot of F-bodies sit lower than mine and they're on stock shocks/springs and I've seen some that look like they have half a foot of wheel gap.

Also I noticed on another stock height car I saw that was parked like 00firebird he looked like he had ginormous wheel gap.

Here's another pic of my car my fiance took last weekend at the track. Stock 49K mile decarbons and springs. Only suspension/chassis mods I have are a 1LE front swaybar and Spohn STB.

Yours looks pretty good at stock ride height ritz. I think its really going to come down to whether I want to cut my springs or not. I may use SLP/Bilstein shocks all around, cut 2/3 of a coil off the front spring for a slightly lower ride, and take out the rear isolator. On the other hand I might just get Koni SAs for up front, and use uncut stock springs on the lower perch, and remove the rear isolator with stock springs and shocks in the back.
