Is this normal for a stock suspension??

Hey guys, well here's the thing my 98 Camaro has a Xenon body-kit and just last week I put on some 18in Eagle 077 on Pirelli's 245/40-18. Now the car sits at "exactly 5.5in in the garage". Once outside lets say in a mall parking lot or even in the street in front my house it sits at "exactly 7in".
Is this normal?? Should I lower it since it sits higher on the astreet than in the garage??

i think you should worry more about your life and the aliens coming to get you....
Gravity doesnt change from your garage to the street, unless the car is torqed , sat in, anything put inside, its going to be the same height...

and if the gravity is changing, i would be calling the news :)

when you're on the street, are you on level ground? Where are you measuring from? Something is wrong with your calculations/measurements. A 1.5" difference is pretty big.

Yeah man, i gotta agree with the other guys. It's impossible to have your suspension magically raise 1.5" simply by exposing it to sunlight, (though thatd be a hell of trick if it did). lol Make sure your car is level each time you measure it or else your measurements will be off.
