Default driver's side sits .5" higher - fix?

yep, my car sits higher on the driver's side. i've heard all come from the factory this way so that when the driver sits in, the car levels out. still, my car looks too damn high on the driver's side, even with a drop. it's only noticeable on the rear of the car. i'm only 175lbs, so i don't drop the car .5", and it needs to go down more. is there anyway to fix this? i've heard of some people that don't have this problem with their f-body...?

Lengthen the passenger side sleeve in the rear sway bar end link. Or shorten the drivers side. This will raise the passenger side rear and lower the drivers side. This will also preload the rear bar more and help keep the car more level at launch.

Did you see how it sits with someone in the drivers seat?

actually, it's funny someone brought this post back because i was noticing this on my car today. my driver's side now sits about 1/4" lower than the passenger side, when about 2 months ago it sat 1/2" higher. o well, looks much better
