: Raising ride height

I certainly feel like the minority bringing this up, but I'd like to lift my Camino a little (god, that sounds so 4x4...). Not a whole lot, but I've always been in love with the classic muscle car stance. I'd like to raise the ride height a tad and get that subtle forward pitch while maintaining a uniform tire height. Aside from the visual, lift would help a lot on the rutted and rocky dirt roads I regularly take here in the mountains. So, if anyone has taken this route or has any theories, please lend some advice.

8) Drop a Honda, Lift a Chevy, I say! :P Airlift 1000 air bags is the easiest and most affordable way to lift the rear. Summit racing has them for under 70 bucks. I pulled out my weak front springs, and replaced them with big block springs from an A body. Cutting off one coil will give you slightly higher lift with a stiffer ride! :cool: See my stance in 5th gen gallery, page 9. Good luck Hans

Y'know what, that stance is actually just what I'm looking for...
