Yeah that's why I tell people is something u have to adjust to when using b&g springs. I like my stance and my driving is more responsive with the low drop.

don't laugh. Stock height



CA #1 springs



B&G S2 springs



these are pretty good comparison springs. The #1 springs aren't that bad looking either. But the b&g springs are the best IMO

Been that way with both sets of springs I've owned (sportlines, B&G) and both cars (06 LT coupe, 09 SS coupe). Sportlines were only on the 06 and B&Gs were only on the 09. Might just weld a couple pieces of box steel in place of the shocks lol (totally kidding)

Most performance springs will not be an even drop, almost never. The idea of the different levels of drop is for performance on the track, nothing else. That's why coilovers are a good option, you can make the ride height even for "show" and when you take it to the track, adjust them perfectly for the track and be able to power thru the corners.

I just find it odd that the springs drop the car lower in the back than the front, even with the car empty.
