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 Go back to playing video games or whatever it is that you do.

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

This is true. I've seen numerous threads about the same thing. Sit in it and have someone eye ball it or measure. Its should level out or be **** hair close.

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

I have replaced every single single piece of suspension and drivetrain on my car with MWC susp. parts, MWC 9, AFCO shocks and coilovers and the car still sags on the pass side slightly. I have sfc's too.

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.

Well, supposed to be level. I'm a featherweight so it doesn't ever fully level out lol.
