I've got a well maintained 2000 Firebird V6 that leans quite a bit to the passenger's side when the car is empty. This seems to have gotten quite a bit worse lately. The tilt is really only noticeable when viewed from the rear of the car. The gap between my tire and fender is at least an inch larger on my driver's side rear than my passenger's rear. I've seen this syndrome on many 4th gen f-bodys and it seems there must be a simple explanation and hopefully a cheap fix.

Thanks for any input.

A lot of fbodys do that to make the car even when the driver is sitting in the car. However, 1+" seems like quite a bit, but maybe possible?

1" is excessive it should be closer to 1/4 to 1/2".
Jack up the rear and check the spring orientation, the lower pigtails of each spring should face the front of the car.

there should be some rubber "silencers?" at the top and bottom of the spring. Those might be bad or the springs themselves are bad.

Do you mean the isolators? I think those are only in the rear of the car, so it depends on if the front passenger side is listing also maybe?

Mine did the same here too, driver rear side high and passenger front pretty low. Drove me crazy, so I remedied this by cutting springs until I got it to sit more level. I know that isn't the best solution, but it worked.

Yes, the isolators. I took it as he was talking the rear of the car.

i think knowing i had different spring rates on both sides of the car would bother me more than it sitting a little off

Really, its not like I cut the spring in half, and I wont be pulling power slides like your sig pic, car feels just as good especially with the bilsteins and suspension work, so you wouldn't even know.
