ok guys so i picked up some zr1 replicas for my camaro and all of sudden it looks very obvious that the back of the car is sitting uneven.. the driver rear is sitting about 1 inch higher then the passenger side rear?? what would cause this?

Eibach springs by chance?

The design of the F-Body was actually made for a driver in the drivers seat. So without that weight, it will lean a touch. NOW....it shouldn't be anywhere near an inch of difference.

When swapping out springs they need to be mounted a certain way so they don't do what you just described, now I know you didn't swap springs but how did you jack the car up?

**mr_r0bert0** · 08-25-2009, 09:38 PM

well a buddy of mine at discount tire jacked in up by the shock to get the tires on up and over the bump stop. but i took them off and grinded down my bumb stop so i wouldnt have someone rip them off on a lift if i ever forgot to mention it

To me it just looks like it's sitting on an uneven spot in the concrete..

Don't worry about it when on an incline. Several factors come into play when parked on something not-so-flat.

Check the rear spring orientation, The lower pigtails should both face forward.
If they don't that is part of your problem.
And BTW after my Strano/Koni swap the car sits 1/4" higher on the left side.

Nice looking car ! I love chrome wheels on Pewter.
Besides SOM, it is my favorite color.
I had a Pewter 2001 Chevy Silverado and a SOM 2003 Chevy Avalanche.
This black SS I have now is a bitch. Looks mean though when it is clean.

Yeah I was so torn between black rims or chrome and then the other day at a local camaro meeting I saw a pewter trans am with black wheels and hated it.. So I got chrome.... and absolutely love it
