Calling on the experts!!!!!
I've noticed my car sits funny in the driveway..I went and measured and the passenger front is 27 1/4 and the passenger rear is 28 3/4...Drivers side rear is 29 and drivers front is 28...
These are with my street tires...when my car was scaled and tuned, it had my slicks and skinnys and was on the individual stands....
I was just wondering if it's the tires, shocks, rear springs going weak(stock) any insight appreciated..

First thing:
You sure teh DRIVEWAY is straight? Could have dip or something in it that you are not seeing. Move teh car, and measure somewhere else, and if you get same, than we can eliminate that.
You have anything in teh car at the time that could have caused the car to lean?
How old are springs? Do you have an adjustable setup?
Oh, also:
Cars will typically be a LITTLE higher on DS, to compensate when a driver gets in.

If the car has coilover's on the front and was scaled (preload on the springs and swaybar were set for proper corner weights for drag racing) I'm not surprised that it's not sitting level.
However the right rear shoudl be a little higher then the left rear... at least I would assume.

Now, it looks different, so I measured and found it off...My stock rear springs have 103k on them...
Looking for some insight on what might cause the set ride height to be off...Maybe it's the diff between the slicks and my street tires.

Driveway is level...I thought that too and measured in 3 different spots...all within a 1/8...
Car was scaled with me in it..(260lbs) yes weight mod for driver
10lbs preload on passenger rear...
55% front 45% rear
overall weight is 3786 lbs...
857 lbs rr
847 lbs lr
1113 lbs fl
969 lbs fr......I got this number because we didn't write down the front right. I just subtracted all the other numbers from the overall weight.
hope this helps..

People aren't asking the right question. Has you 60' time substantially changed? If the answer is no... then you don't have a problem. You spent wise money on having the car 4 corner scaled. Leave it where it is or you will be undoing that smart investment.
