question concerning rear height?
hi.
i decided to measure the height of my camaro by the way peddlers measures bottom lip of rim to top of fender arch going up the middle of rim. My car measures 27in all around but not my p/s rear it measures 27 1/2 inches. sorry i didnt measure in mm. i was wondering why my rear p/s is higher. i have upgraded trailing arms, full poly subframe bushings, a rear balance bar and i installed 2012 rear shocks from SS a while ago. i visually inspected the subframe and all look normal but the p/s front subframe bushing lip is slightly bent up prob. due to supporting the car w. a jack. Is my car good. im a bit over anal with my chevy. Suspension Gurus please chime in. thanks joey

The subframe bushes are stiffer than OEM, thus raising the back end of the car some. Nothing to worry about though

Yep. Though if your really worried you could put the car on a lift and check to make sure the springs are seated properly.

could just be variation in the springs,
i believe that the OE springs have a 13mm tolerance. |
