OK, so my car (non F-41) has all stock front suspension. The rear has Aftermarket trailing arms, anti-hop bars, and stock springs with old shocks (one is shot).

I'm taking the car in this week or next week to get all the shocks replaced, an alignment, and new front springs. Well that's my plan so far.

My goal is to have the front equal in height to the back. Or even a little higher. My car is a 4-door, and I don't like the 'rake' look on 4-doors.

Now I have a few questions. How did these cars sit from factory, were they level or was there a bit of a rake? And, if I leave the stock rear springs and replace the front ones. Will I get the stance I want? And last, what springs do you suggest? I have no intentions of doing any hard cornering, I just want it to launch. I was just gonna get some factory replacement ones.
 
Get a set of F41 replacements.

To get a good idea of how they should look, take a peek at some old dealership brochures, like the ones in the photo album here.
 
lol. I never thought of that.
 
Hmmm. they look lower in those pics than mine is now. Maybe chevy made them lower for the ads so they would look better lol.
