ride height?
 
what's every one running?

my car seems really high, like stock! i noticed with my big a$$ front bump stop, that i only have like 2.5" of suspension travel.

so i think i'm going to be trimming bump stops, the rear bump stock is stock too.

ride height is 24.5 F and 24" rear, from the ground to the top of the fender. with 15's

can't check now since my car's parked at an angle but i think i'm set at 23 inches...

What about the rocker height? IIRC, ITA was 3" min at the rocker.

Around 23" with the stock 13's. Need to get it corner balanced :(

'85 GSL-SE with stock tires and wheels and LS1/T56 engine 23" from ground to bottom of fender lip.

According to the FSM (for 1985) the middle of the center trim on the bumpers should be 17-20" from the ground for the front, and 18-21" from the ground for the rear with a full gas tank.

Mine is 22.5 front and 23 rear at the moment, I just installed Respeed coilovers and I am still playing with the ride height to see where I like it.
