Stance problem

When I bought the car, it had eibach all around and the back was up. I bought used eibach pro rear springs to lower the back even more, the springs looked very different in design. They were thinner and had more coil to them. After surgery, the stance is the same. I'm getting weird ideas here, like this car used to be a V6 but that might be impossible because most numbers match in the car. Another idea I had, which is a bit more believable was that the front springs were cut. Either reason, the car is facing down and I'm hitting potholes, ramps, basically I'm scraping on everything.

Here's the stance right now:

maybe your front springs are just really weak//your rear has been lightened? are you empty on gas? :P

You have a point with the gas, I filled it up so I'll take new pictures.

A- No such thing as a V6 IROC.

B- For 305 TPI, the 8th digit of the vin is F.

That's why I was talking about mismatching numbers. That's not the point. I'll get pictures soon.

My dad's new camera rocks! (expect video maybe) As you can see, the front is too low and easily scrapes on a bump. What do you think I should do and what do you think is really wrong? They're supposed to be both Eibach pros..

my front end sits a little low also but not that low because it is stock but it sits a little lower than the back and it even has new bushing,shocks,struts, and mounts.

Thanks Rally! that's really good...could be a bit brighter--or is it because the fender isn't metallic paint?

Hey don't rush me on selling it. It's tough to get used to the handling after driving a 240sx though. I think I've decided on replacing the springs with stockers, because it is a DD and there will be bumps. Plus it'll be a nicer ride.

But...I just can't understand why the springs I have didn't lower the back end. You've seen tons more f-bodies than I have. What eibachs do you think are on the front and back? how much of a drop in inches?

Yup, thats exactly why. The red fender isnt shiny and bright so the photoshop wont come out like that.. unless I really put some time into it and THEN it would be shiny but I just felt like doing this 3 minute thing..

Also I couldnt get that damn red outline around the door.. I dont know whats with that.

And nobody is rushing you to selling it, we want you to keep it.

From looking at your pics the ride height looks about normal to me.
Cant really tell from pics accurately though

I took some measurements you can use to compare with. Vehicle parked on smooth level concrete garage floor.
(these are factory heights no suspension mods)

Middle of lower front spoiler (bottom of spoiler at center to floor) 7 1/2 inches

Center of Air Dam (bottom edge to floor) 3 7/8 inches

Behind Front Wheel ( bottom of ground effects to floor) 6 5/8 inches

Behind Rear Wheel Bottom of ground effects to floor) 9 3/8 inches

Middle of Rear Bumper ( Bottom of bumper at center to floor) 13 7/8 inches
