Car almost sitting on front tire Been a while, but here I am. Got a 02 Z28 that I have installed subframe connectors, adjustable lca, adjustable panhard bar, adjustable torque arm. I put v6 springs with new shocks in the front. Everything seemed good until one day I noticed the driver front is almost sitting on the tire. I've looked in the front and rear but I don't see anything obvious. Any ideas?

I am assuming that the V6 springs are not as strong as the V8, however when I had my front shocks replaced on Sara (2001 Z28) I had the mechanic "index the springs" to the new shock, that is before he removed the springs, he used white chalk to mark where the spring started on the rubber seat. When he reinstalled the springs to the new shock, he lined up the start of the spring to the mark on the seat, so when completed Sara stood exactly the same height as before, with no sagging.
