if you have 1/4 in wear on the rear tires then your pretty close to right on. a little (1/4in) on the tall side. all 93-97 camaro's lean to the passenger side a little, its said that its like that to make it level with the driver inside. what headers are you using? i have no issues with clearance and am lowered on the front by 3/4in and rear by 1/4

Ya I am going to rotate them as soon as I can and then see how it is, maybe that is my problem. I have hooker long tube headers, the clearance usually isnt a problem but the roads around here arent the best. Some speed bumps are a challenge of course but some soft spots in pavement have caused the semis to leave some big ruts and if I get caught in them the wrong way its a nasty sound on the highway ha. I also just like the look when the rear of the car is up a bit more.

And so is the leaning to the passenger side common for the 02 camaros aswell then? As long as its normal im okay with it. I will have to gain a lot of weight to even it out ha.

i believe it is common all the way to 02 but dont know for sure. my crossmember for the torque bar hits if anything but once in a great while it somehow hits the crossover pipe. my poor air dam is always hitting when i pull outa a couple places where theres a good sized drop. i went the other way and lowered the front by 3/4in using double adjustable koni shocks. one setting on the spring perch is stock and the other is lowered. then i took the spring isolator out and added some hose. that lowered it about an inch. i then installed the 9 in rearend which raised it back to a little less than stock. i like both looks but like you i like the back up a tad. old school

I think for heavier rear-ends, Koni DAs are recommended by Strano -- I would suggest calling him and discuss your issues/goals for the car.
