Default uneven ride height

I have a 98 z28 and for some reason the drivers side sits about a half inch higher than the passengers side. I had 2 sets of eibach sportline springs and i even had Qa1 coilovers on the front and i still had the drivers side sit higher. I seen some other camaros and some of them look like they have the same problem but not has bad as mine. anyone have any ideas why it could sit like that? Oh and i dunno if it matters but i have sphon tubular lower control arms and adj panhard bar and an adj torque arm that mounts to the body and the sphon sway bars front and back.

i dunno what the subframe connectors have to do with the uneven height, but the car sat like that before i had them on the car. the only thing i can think of with the car sitting the way it does is when i change how the rear springs sit on the axle it changes how the front sit on the driver side.

If the car is sitting twisted or uneven when u install subframes it will always be cocked. If it was twisted before it could have been an accident or the body twisted or many other things.

I heard a rumor a while back that F-Bodies where designed to sit 'slightly' higher on the drivers side (with no one in the car)- when just a driver is in the car is sits even (better weight distribution?). Makes sense, but not sure if I believe it.
