Car actually sits lower than a stock Z/28 on Pedders springs. The Z/28 is deceiving as the flares close the gap around the smaller wheels. You can stick your finger behind a flare and feel the the sheet metal is (a guess) 3/4" from the edge of the flare.

I run -2 degree of camber in the front and the front fenders have been "massaged" pulled slightly by hand to widen them (old racer trick when stock body work is required". I also have the ZL1 front air deflector in front of the tire and rock guard behind it.

I didn't get these to look cool or so I could say I have them, I got them because they are factory forged 19" wheels that I can stuff 305/30/19 tires and they are lighter than the stock 1LE package.

For comparison the first picture is my car on Pedders springs. The second picture is a build that Justice Pete (JPSS) just completed for a member using the Z/28 suspension. You can see the difference in ride height between the two.

There are more pictures of of my car in my build thread in the sig below.
