Hey Arch. I had my wheels off, and it all looked straight. After putting the wheels back on, the car sat even....but after driving a little while it was squatting again. I think something in the suspension settles. Not sure what though.

raise it up and slightly loosen all teh pivot bolts (everything that moves when the suspension travels) lower the car and bounce it (settles the suspension) and tighten ON THE GROUND I know it's a pain but that's the only way to stop the bind
if you can lower it onto 4 ramps that would work

Makes sense, but that spare has been gone since I got the stereo put in. I also thought maybe the fiberglass was the culprit. I checked my system pics, and all the components are even. Plus, it squatted a little before I put the system in it.

Hey Arch. What do you know of the rear control arm relocation kit. They recommend it for any F-Body that is lowered. What does it do exactly? As far as I can see it would make the car sit even lower. I may be wrong. Anyone have this done to their F-Body? Tell me about it, and what it did for you car!!

What is does is realign the geometry of your lower control arms to the rear axle. You need your lower control arms to run slightly up hill towards the front of the car. If they are level or higher in the back you have a much greater likely hood of wheel-hop.
