Car higher on drivers side ? This seems like its an issue for multiple cars. Anyone know what is the cause of this ? On a few other firebird owners ive talked to, their car is anywhere from a quart of an inch to an inch higher on the drivers side, measuring from the tire to the fender. Just something that has bugged me for a long time. Is it due to the engine being offset to the passenger side ? A suspension issue ?
Sagging springs are usually the main cause. Another possibility is a bent frame. Not sure about this, but maybe the spring damper on the rear is gone on one side….
These cars are so old now the possibilities are endless.

I would think it is a bent frame if not for multiple other fbodies having this same "issue". The entire suspension is brand new, though I did have a blown shock on the passenger rear and that lifted the back right by a quarter. I just installed some lowering springs and its still the same issue but the car is lower over all.I measured the car when out of it, id think that it would be to offset the driver but thats such a weird idea to me because ive only heard speculation and no definite evidence with some article stating that.
