Default leaning camaro???

ok guys when i first got my car i didnt know much bout it and all. now im getting into it more and i've noticed my can to lean a lot! the passenger side of the car sits an inch or more lower than the driver side does. it also seems like the driver side tires stick out more than the passenger side. both front and back. it looks like the whole car it shifted to the left. what could this be. a few guys a long time ago said it was supposed to be like that but i dont no other camaro is like that. not that i've seen anyways.

driver's side is usually higher to account for the weight of the driver once he sits in the car. but as far as tires sticking out and the whole car leaning to the left, i guess there would need to be some pictures to see what it looks like.

this seems to be widely believed around here, but is there any truth to it?
my car sits level (on DMS springs).

Panhard bar will only adjust your rear to aline it with the car, that may fix the tires in the rear sticking out to one side too much. Wont help anything up front. The shocks, struts and springs deal with the level as well as the ride of the camaro. Are all the tires matching? Are the rims the same? Sounds like you have 16" rims on one side, and 17" on the other, not being silly, but from what your explaining, thats the only thing I can picture. Post some pics of the tires and the body height with a tape measure showing the diffrence and try to get a good level shot of the whole car from 2-3 angles. Only way to get an idea what your seeing.
