Sorry, since we're on an f-body forum I perhaps thought it was assumed I meant f-bodies. I'll restate it for the peanut gallery. Almost all f-bodies that I've personally seen sit this way. If one was to study the rear suspension including it's mounting points on an f-body that sits higher on the driver side, I bet you could see the discrepancy. I have, but since I'm wrong, I'll keep it to myself

My 10bolt did the same thing so I know its not the 9inch
Looks like I don't have a choice here, guess ill do the hose mod and leave it be
I wonder if I put 2 diff springs in the back if it will sit right?? Bmr on the pass-side and sportline on driver side lmao

As far as putting in different springs, I would recomment against that. Different spring rates and heights what not can be detrimental to suspension geometry. I know QA1 makes a coilover and ground control makes an adjustable spring. Might want to look there.
I'd definitely do the hose mod though. I dropped about 1/4"- 1/2" when I did the hose mod on the rear of my bird. Granted, I wanted the slammed look so mines LOW. haha.
Good luck!

This is a link to a LS1tech thread where someone used the GC setup. Very nice setup and car if I do say so.

Seeing as I cannot find the 4th gen application, I'm going to assume that the third gen rear spring application will work.

I seeing as the 10 bolts are basically the same. HOWEVER, I do not know 100% seeing as you have a 9", I'd assume, but I don't want to steer you wrong...

That's what I always thought as well

With springs that stiff, I doubt 180 lbs driver is gonna level my car out but I'll have to check that
I have friends who have cars that DONT sit lower on one side so I thought my car was all jacked up since its an R title car that has been spun out and wrecked... just body damage tho and the shop said frame looked good and alignment went well. I need to do sway bars so I'll get new endlinks to make sure its not a bushing problem

Yup, it's normal, I believe many GM trucks even do this same thing as well. My car does it and both of my friends T/A's do this as well and we are all on the stock springs and shocks. However, once you sit in the drivers seat the car becomes completely level.
