Default Car Sits Lower On Passenger Side

well i've got a friend with a 98 Camaro Z28 with a little over 150,000 i've always had my questions on the car it always sat different atleast compared to mine. well i meased it from the ground to the wheel well and the passenger side sits an inch lower from and rear compared to the driver side. it has OEM suspenion almost all around. from what i can tell the car has an Edelbrock Torque arm, UMI rear control arm's. shocks in the rear look factory and the struts up front are factory. just wondering if the coil springs could just be bad over time or what else so we can get this fixed. thanks

From what I know about my 2000 SS, from the factory, GM engineered the driver's side to be 1/2-1inch to make up the weight of the driver. This might not be true but that's what I know.

It's the gangster lean. Many F-bodies do this... Mine does.

It's to offset your weight while in the car. Sit in the drivers seat and watch it magically fix itself.
