Default Passenger side rear body sag

Purchased an 02' Camaro SS which had previously been lowered. The passenger side rear tire rubs/bottoms out. No issues with any other tire. I rolled the fender but there is a solid inch difference in clearance between both sides. I don't want to rig this, what's the best option to even them out?

Eibach springs. I don't know if the isolators are in or intact. To be honest I wouldn't know what you were refering to or what I would be looking for. I'm more then willing to learn though! Gonna go do some research while I wait for a reply.

They are rubber "donuts" that sit on top of the springs to isolate the spring from the chassis. If one is missing or has failed, it would cause this

No. Mr. Strano told me to swap the springs when I put the new Konis in. If it was a spring issue I would of had sag on the other side. I'm going with the old sensatrac shocks were no good.

I'm still confused. You just said new shocks did the trick, but then you also just said "Mr. Strano told me to swap the springs when I put the new Konis in"

Shocks dont cure a sag, they don't hold any of the vehicle weight.

Shock was no good on that side. Springs were swapped to see if maybe it was a springs problem. Its gone...not asking questions lol.
