Need height measurements

Well I'm wanting to change the stance of my car again. I know there is a suspension section but who knows how many guys that go there still have an LT1 to measure for me. I really only want LT1 guys to reply here since LS guys have an aluminum block and I'm sure it is much lighter.

So like I said I want to change my car's stance so I need height measurements here. I need measurements of stock and lowered cars on all 4 corners. Please measure on level ground and measure from the ground to the peak of the wheel well. Right now I have the Prokit on Revalved Bilsteins and it is just too low for me in my town! Plus I do alot of drag racing so being lowered isn't the best option but I like the look. Then again this is my daily driver so no drag shocks and springs for me! The plan for now is to get stock springs and do the "hose mod" to them for the rear and then either keep the Prokit up front or switch to BMR which is only a 1" drop. This is why I want everyones measurements so I can compare where I am to where I'd like to be. Thanks

Here is the info I need:
1. Height on all 4 corners, please label them.
2. Wheel and tire size
3. Brand of shocks
4. Brand of springs
5. Mileage on springs/shocks
6. Weight if possible

If you're wanting to bring the front a 1/2" you can get some BMR shock spacers, they mount between the bottom shock mounts and the lower control arm. they cost around $40.

Or you can buy some 1/8" thick hardened washers( 3/8" hole ) and put 2-3 (for each mount bolt) between the bottom shock mounts and the lower control arm. IMO,I would try this first since it is the cheapest.
