It's a little hard to tell at that angle, but it looks like it could go lower.
Does this look right?

Does this look right?
Can someone tell me if the bushings and the mounting for my rear spring look correct. To me it doesn't look right, other than the rubber being bad. The bolts seem to angle rearwards quite a way. From what I've seen in other's setups these bolts look very vertical. Also is that stacking of bushings correct?

Here is a picture of my car at ride height. Does it look like it is high/low? I am trying to figure out if I can take the extra spring cushions out without dropping the ride height too far down.

Here is a different picture of my car to check ride height. It may look like it is on an angle but that was just how the picture is taken.
From this picture, does anyone recommend that I lower my rear ride height, by removing the extra spring cushions talked about above.

I've seen other stock vettes with about that ride height.
If you lower the rear by removing a bushing, the front might look too high. That's a lot mor work to change the front ride height. I suspect an old rear spring is why someone added the bushing to keep the rear even with the front.
