A couple of years back I posted on this thread complaining that the PTFB GT kit had more fender gap in the front than back. I believe I’ve had this installed now for 9 years now.
Took a pic today from the same location and it actually has some rake now. Even with a lighter LS3. Measured it too and it’s got an inch higher gap in back. Tire sizes haven’t changed.

That is interesting. I didn't think coils settled that much. I wonder if you had tightened the A arm bolts without weight on the car. That would put the bushings in a bind and make the front higher. Then as the years roll on they have ripped or settled in. For the nice low and stealth look. Paint looks great from my house! Nice car!

Thanks! I think you’re right. Also I imagine many items that settle/break in on a daily driver are taking a lot longer given the low miles. Seems odd that it would drop after the LS was installed and not when it had the heavy 400 in it for 5 years post suspension install. That being said the T/A was barely driven with the 400 in it.
Interestingly recently I’ve noticed that the suspension just seems smoother and less noisy than it used to be so maybe I’ve finally gotten it broken in. Another good reason that these cars need to be driven and not just sit around as museum pieces.
One other thing I’ve noticed from these photos is that the Classic Industries snowflake wheels barely look gold from some angles. Hopefully they’re not fading though they weren’t particularly bright gold from the beginning. Probably not surprising for a $600 set of wheels.
