Default Squating issues

I have a 98 trans am with a 1.5 inch eibach lowering kit on it. The rear wheels are 19 inch vette wheels with 305 tires. The car leans to the passengers rear a quarter inch. So when I take off or have a passenger the tire rubs the fender on the passengers side. I have been looking at putting drag bags on it to stiffen up the rear end and take out the squat and lean to the one side to keep from having rubbing issues. Anyone else tried this to know if it works or have any suggestions?

You can go that route, or you could go with a ARB setup.

Lca relocation brackets are a must to get the proper 2 degree forward angle on the LCAs after lowering your car. There needs to be the upward angle to press the rear tires into the ground instead of squat the chassis. I have mine on the top hole to get just a positive angle, the bottom hole is too much of an angle and puts your instant center too far back and causes spinning.
