Lots of "sleepers" here: http://brodozers.com/ 😉

High doesn't equal sleeper... 28" rear and 26" front doesn't make it slammed.

Both tires are same height. The fronts are only narrower. 255 60 15 rear 225 70 15 front

That is all well and good - but, the overall diameter, at 27.4", is a huge contributing factor to your perceived issue (and will likely become more obvious when you hit a bump while turning). I highly recommend you go back to a stock size tire in the front of 215/65R15 (26" OD).

I agree with motorhead. The front can go up some or the back come down some, but the car will work better with a 26" tire in front, unless you intend to drive it in snow or deep water, then go 27"

The issue has to be with the springs or spindles. I've never heard of control arms built to lower our cars. The difference in spindles should be easy to spot. So my best guess is the springs are the problem.
And "stock" tire size would be more along the lines of 185/70-14, or roughly 24 1/4" diameter.
My Cutlass has stock control arms and spindles and with 450# QA1 coilovers I cant get it that low. Not even with 26" tires.

Lower the back and the front will come up some; the weight distribution is all wonky. Installing the hood is going to exacerbate the issue.

And IIRC, you are running a 70-series tire in the front which is going to fill up the wheel well more. Go back to a 65 or 60 series tire to regain clearance.

I am looking at a different tire for the front


Thanks

If those A arms did lower it and you take em off, I may be interested in getting them for my Monte

You have dibs if that is the culprit.

They exist for S-10s. 3" drop LCAs. Google it.

I got it adjusted. I had the 3"drop s10 lower control arms.
