Default Installed BMR CM PHB and car is offset still!!!!

I finally installed my Spohn TA, BMR LCA's and CM PHB. I have the PHB adjusted so that RT RR is adjusted all the way in. I'm looking to put 11's up under it so I went out and measured how center the rear is. The LT tire is over to the left 3/4" more than the RT!!! I'm trying to describe this as best I can. The PHB will not let me move the RT tire out any more. Has anyone ever run into this before?

Sounds like you have a bent frame is it is over all the way already. How far off was it with the stocker. I have heard up to a 1/4", but nothing like you are describing.

It didn't move it very much, I didn't measure the stocker. I have looked up under there and don't see any damage. I will post pics a little later of the different measurements. How do I post them in the text?

I just did the plumb bob and it's not as far off as I thought (I'm a dumb ***) but the PHB is adjusted all the way in, is this normal? I'm looking at putting +50mm offset 17x11 w/ GS-D3's on the back. I know how big the Goodyears are so I want to make sure they will fit. I know I need new springs (the right rear is sagging). I just took measurements of the car on level ground and they are as follows:

Rt Frt:26.5"
Rt Rr: 26.5"
Lt Frt: 26.75"
Lt Rr: 27"

I think I need new springs?

What are the side measurements? Hans a plumb bob off the fender and measure to each wheel.
