My fronts are still worn and my backs are new Moog springs. It sits fine in my opinion. The only difference I noticed is the bottom of the bumper cover and the air deflector would scrape more at certain angles. But that was a fair trade off considering if my rear was loaded with passengers, every bump or train track made the outer fender rub on the tires. New springs and it solved the problem.

thanks mk i have been trying to find a picture of one with lowered front and normal rear and i do carry people in the back and groceries.

it would be a fair trade im sure its cheaper to replace the air damn as its a dime a dozen in the salvage yards (no one ever takes them off) than it is to replace tires and rims

are the measurements front and back? make sure someone didn't take your spring isolators out and add some hose to the springs. aka hose mod. lowers rear about a inch.

well i got under there, the isolators are there and i didnt see any hoses on the springs its probably just that low.

someone had told me they make rubber blocks to put in the springs and it should raise it about an inch.....i dont know i never seen anything like that i just remember back in the day people would drill a hole in a hocky puck and lift trucks that way

call around the local wrecking yards to see if any have a 4th gen, 93-02 camaro that you can get the springs from. i am going to say you probably have some aftermarket springs that are sagging and lost there spring.
