Default Help!

I posted a thread in the TEXAS forum and was curios to see if I got any different replys here. Well to star with my buddy has a 1999 Camaro Z28 and he lowered it with Eibach Pro Kit, Bmr adj. Pan hard rod, Bmr relocation brckt. and control arms. It has KYB agx shocks and struts. Everything was redone to be sure of results. However here is the problem: It leans to the right. I mean if you look at it from the rear it squatting really low (1 inch at least) to the right rear. Even the right front is a little lower. The left side looks perfect its just that right rear that is throwing it off. I beleive that is what is even making the front right sit a little lower. Although the front right is no where near as bad as the back right. So my question is why would the right side sit lower. One guy tells me maybe its the frame. Even though the car was only in one minor accident which was not even on that side. Another person tells me its suspension like a bad shock or, bum spring or something with the spring spacer. So with anyones experience is it frame or suspension??? I would really appreciate the help! Thanks

Could be as the person mentioned, it could be a defective shock.

Shocks don't determine ride height, they just dampen spring oscillations. If it was level before the spring installation, and the rear end is centered properly, I'd think there's an issue with the springs.

02HAWK502 we checked the springs and it was not that. Also we think the car was leaning before the spring install. Any other suggestions?
