Ok, why in the world would you want your rear jacked up like that?

about 200-250lbs of weight in the back from sound system and sometimes I have to take dirt roads where I live, so it helps keep my Exhaust from scraping and also I have to back up my driveway that is at a really bad slant(due to living in the mountains) and it helps keeping my rear bumper and exhaust tips from scraping

Normally when I get down the hill I adjust the PSI in the back to lower it but just haven't since I don't have time to after I get off work and head home

Its made for the Z28 but took a little fabricating to get it to go on but I got it and even harder trying to get this strut tower on there but it works, hope the two touching doesn't end up creating a problem

I like that STB, just could never see the $300 price tag. SFC's are should have been your first suspension upgrade, no more rattles and handling improves massively..
